We are looking for the reference to port OpenCV on C66x platform.

Could we get any reference or support for the same?

Hi,

TI is not actively working on any OpenCV library and as an alternative to OpenCV, you may consider TI's VLIB. For more details, kindly refer the below E2E posts:

I hope, the above information would clarify your request.

Thanks & regards,

Sivaraj K

Hi Vikas,

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 (for processor issues). Be sure to search those for helpful information and to browse for the questions others may have asked on similar topics (e2e.ti.com). Please read all the links below my signature.

Note, only a few OpenCV functions were used/implemented in C6678.

Refer below thread,

Thank you.

Let me correct one of the statements above... We haven't yet released OpenCV on a strict C66x platform, but it is being developed. Currently we show support for OpenCV running on our A15 based AM57x processor in our latest Processor SDK 02.00.01 with the following demo:

http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Processor_SDK_Demos_Video_Analytics?keyMatch=opencv%20a15&tisearch=Search-EN-Everything

The next release of Processor SDK 02.00.02 will support off-load of some OpenCV functions (roughly 200) onto the C66x DSP core via OpenCL. This release is targeted at the end of 1Q16. The final step is to provide OpenCV 3.x OCL Kernel interface with OpenCV 3.x DSP functions that are truly optimized and could be used in stand-alone DSP applications. Schedule is still pending here. Depending on your needs, you may want to take a look at the AM57x or K2H platforms for earlier access to the DSP off-load functions.
