To verify whether the TMS320C5515 will be suitable for a standalone face recognition project (College project)

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TMS320C5515

Guys, I need help to verify whether the TMS320C5515 will be suitable for a standalone face recognition project (College project).

My budget is maximum of 200$ (India-10000 Rs).

In this project, I am planning to create toy car with a camera,memory,processor,display unit for displaying stored images,button for choosing a stored photo target image and a toy gun. The gun will shoot the person in front of the car if the face of the person matches with the photo which is chosen from the list of photos stored in a memory inside the car. I am also planning for movement of the car towards the target person based on face image match.

This will be a stand-alone face recognition system which will be able to identify and match the photos stored in the memory and do the action based on the face recognition response.

  I am planning to use TMS320C5515 as a DSP processor for my project. Will it be suitable for this and will it be within my budget? And also can you please tell me approximate duration it will take for completing the project?

    Hi Joseph,

    C5515 doesn't have a native camera interface and would support quite low resolutions (maybe QVGA).

    I think the LCDK (http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/L138/C6748_Development_Kit_%28LCDK%29) will be a better development kit for your project. It already includes a frontal face detection demo and supports OpenCV routines that you might use.

    Problem would be cost - $199 for the LCDK kit + cost of emulator + cost of camera. Also C6478 power is greater than C5515 - current draw for the board can exceed 500 mA under normal operating conditions...

    But development time would be reduced, camera interface pre-made, and higher resolution images.

    Try posting on the C6000 forum for more advise.

    Hope this helps,
    Mark
