Porting OpenCV onto DM8148

Kiran Kumar CH1

I want to use face recognition features on DM8148. For that i have chosen Open CV, which needs to be port onto DM8148 and host system is Linux Ubuntu.

I read some articles on WEB like "Building OpenCV for ARM Cortex-A8". is this enough to start..?

DM8148 consists of both ARM Cortex-A8 and DSP C674x.

So, Open CV porting should be on ARM Cortex-A8 or DSP C674x (DM8148). Because some articles mentioning that there should be Open CV libraries in both ARM and DSP.

Is Open CV is best or any other solution to start face/age/gender detection feature implementation...?

I need some guide lines for the same...?

OpenCV is available both on Cortex-A8 and DSP.

Usage wise: A8 would be simpler where as performance wise DSP one would be better.

Do you have the algorithm of Face Recognition already mapped on to sequence of OpenCV API calls?

Thanks Venugopala,

Actually iam new to Open CV. I want to use Face Detect algorithms, which was already in Open CV source. http://docs.opencv.org/trunk/modules/contrib/doc/facerec/index.html

If i am wrong can u suggest...?

As you said Open CV port can be port onto DSP, can you tellme the procedure todo the same..?
