Ground Truth System

Ground Truth System - A tool for visually tracking a moving target on a calibrated ground plane and recording position and angle in 2-dimensions.

Additional functionality is included to facilitate the generation of IEC specific results.

cmake --build . --target install

Unicap (0.9.12)

sudo apt-get install libunicap2-dev

Windows

• CMake (2.8.10.1)

• Xvid (1.3.2)

• OpenCV (2.4.6)

OpenCV (2.4.6)

cd C:\
git clone https://github.com/Itseez/opencv.git 
git checkout 2.4.6
cd opencv
mkdir build && cd build
cmake -G"MinGW Makefiles" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="C:\opencv\install" ..
cmake --build . --target install

MinGW Only

• MinGW (4.4)

• Qt MinGW Libraries (4.8.3)

• MSYS (1.0.11)

Visual Studio Only

• Microsoft Visual C++ 2010

• Qt Visual Studio 2010 Libraries(4.8.3)

Installer

• NSIS (Nullsoft Scriptable Install System)

Compiling

Linux From root directory:

$ mkdir build && cd build
$ cmake [options] ../
    e.g. cmake -DOpenCV_ROOT_DIR=/path/to/opencv/install -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DGTS_TESTS=ON ../
$ cmake --build . --target install

Windows (MinGW)

mkdir build
cd build
cmake.exe -G"MinGW Makefiles" -DOpenCV_ROOT_DIR="C:\opencv\install" -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="C:\GTS" ..   
cmake --build . --target install

Alternatively, call scripts/minGW_app.bat from root directory.

Windows (VS2010)

mkdir build
cd build
cmake.exe -G"NMake Makefiles" -DOpenCV_ROOT_DIR=C:\PATH-TO-OPENCV-INSTALL ..
cmake --build . --target install

Alternatively, call scripts/vs2010_app.bat from root directory.

CMake Options

• OpenCV_ROOT_DIR - Path to OpenCV libraries and includes (REQUIRED on Windows, looks in standard places on Linux)
• GTS_TESTS - Build Google Test Unit Tests (default=OFF).
• GTS_HELP - Build GTS Help Assistant (default=ON).
• CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX - Location for make install to place binary and help files.

Windows Installer

To redistribute this application on Windows, an installer is available. You will first need to download the 2 additional files (Xvid and Microsoft VS2010 Redist package as linked in the DOWNLOADS file.

MinGW

mkdir build
cd build
cmake.exe -G"MinGW Makefiles" -DOpenCV_ROOT_DIR=C:\PATH-TO-OPENCV-INSTALL ..
mingw32-make package

Alternatively, call scripts/minGW_installer.bat from root directory.

VS2010

mkdir build
cd build
cmake.exe -G"NMake Makefiles" -DOpenCV_ROOT_DIR=C:\PATH-TO-OPENCV-INSTALL .. 
nmake package

Alternatively, call scripts/vs2010_installer.bat from root directory.

Unit Tests

GTS uses the Google Test Framework for unit testing. A few tests have been included, but we hope to add to these over time and welcome any additions.

Supported Cameras

The Unicap library on Linux and DirectShow on Windows are used to enumerate cameras. OpenCV is used for recording and tracking of videos. Therefore cameras that are supported by these libraries should work on the GTS.
