Adding face recognition to DM8127 RDK

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DM388

I am working on moving from the DM368 "F" to the DM8127. Building the default DM8127 RDK went very smoothly. When I started trying to add the face recognition library, I noticed several differences:

1) The "FACE_RECOG_MODE is missing from Rules.make

2) The path for the face recognition library files (alg_fr_ti.a, libOkaoCo.a, libOkaoFr.a, libOkaoPt.a) doesn't exist. It was ...Source/ipnc_rdk/av_capture/framework/alg/lib/fr_ti

My question is, how do I add face recognition to the DM8127 RDK?

Thanks...

    Hello,

    I will notify the IPNC team for help.

    Hi,

    The DM36x and DM8127 software architectures are entirely different and the Face Recognition feature is not integrated into DM8127 IPNC RDK.

    The Face Recognition libs for DM36x are built for ARM9 core and if you plan to run the Face Recognition on A8 in DM8127 then you should get the libs built for A8 and also make necessary changes in the use case to route the QVGA frames from VPSS M3 to A8 and then run Face Recognition algorithm.

    regards,

    Hi,

    I'm a little confused by this response. On November 11, 2014, in my thread titled "DM388 or DM8127 or ???", I asked for a recommendation on a new processor as an upgrade from the DM368 "F", and that I needed face detection AND recognition along with other analytics. I purchased the DM8127 IPNC based on the response I received. Also, when I licensed the face recognition libraries, I only received object files, no source. Now the response is that face recognition isn't integrated and that I must re-target the face recognition using source I don't possess. Can I get source to the face recognition libraries? Has the recommendation for a new processor changed? Is there a current processor with an RDK that has face recognition and other analytics integrated? Is there a face recognition library that uses the DSP to improve performance and / or frame size? I'm sorry for all the questions, but this is quite a change...

    Regards,
    John

    Any updates here? I agree, the structure of the 388/8148/8127 RDK is quite different than the 365/368 RDK. However, I don't believe the face recognition libraries need to be rebuilt to move from the ARM926 used in the DM368 and the A8 used in the 8127. Quoting from ARMs Web site, "It (the A8) is binary compatible with the ARM926™, ARM1136™, and ARM1176™ processors, providing an option for migration from Classic ARM processors." Is there a specific reason using the libraries as-is won't work?

    Could someone provide a source filename or other area where the face recognition could be integrated?

    Any other helpful comments about moving to the DM8127 or another product with an RDK that includes face recognition?

    Thanks...
