Low cost solution for Image processing for Facial Recogination through Camera

Muhammad Haris Bin Tariq Alvi
Prodigy 160 points


Respected Forum Members,

I am new to DSP kits and I wanted to Implement my Bachelor's Final year project i.e a algorithm of Image processing involving taking image from a video camera on DSP Kit (Faical Recogination) . I searched on the internet but can't really find which DSP kit to use. I am looking for a low cost solution to it and the one who's help is also available easily on the internet. I have come across

http://www.ti.com/tool/tmdxlcdk6748

But I am not sure which one to use.

Also its specification sheet says as

"The LCDK does not have an on board emulator. An external emulator from TI or a third-party will be required to start developing on it."

I tried searching over internet but can't understand what a on board emulator is and what is it used for. I wanted to know What is a on board emulator on DSP kits? Why we need it?

Looking forward for prompt and positive reply please

    Hi Muhammad,

    Welcome to the TI E2E forum. I hope you will find many good answers here and in the TI.com documents and in the TI Wiki Pages. Be sure to search those for helpful information and to browse for the questions others may have asked on similar topics.

    With C6748 LCDK, the starterware package which comes along with the kit includes the face detect demo and finger print demo applications along with Source code which will suit for your requirement mentioned above in your post.

    On Board emulator means the hardware board / development kit in itself will have a built-in emulator to connect the hardware board to the host PC through a cable by which you can load, run and debug the source codes / applications on the target ( hardware ) board using CCS.

    External emulator means a separate piece of hardware with JTAG port and USB port which connects the target to the host PC for loading, running and debugging the application.

    Instead of searching in internet you can first use the TI Wiki Pages / www.ti.com to search for "Emulation" (no quotes) to get details about emulator.http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Category:Emulation

    In addition to that , Go to the TI Wiki Pages and search for "C6748 LCDK" or "c6748 training" (no quotes) to find onformation about the kit and to get some online course material respectively which will be helpful for you to go through to learn the basic of operation for the C6748

    Hi Arron,

    As this is the follow up question to Muhammed and others, posting on the same thread is OK. But, If you have any new questions, please create a new post which will get more attention of experts than the old answered posts.
