This OpenCV tutorial is a very simple code example of GPU Cuda optical flow in OpenCV written in c++. The configuration of the project, code, and explanation are included for farneback Optical Flow method. Farneback algorithm is a dense method that is used to process all the pixels in the given image. The dense methods are slower but more accurate as all the pixels of the image are processed. In the following example, I am displaying just a few pixes based on a grid. I am not displaying all the pixes. In the opposite to dense method the sparse method like Lucas Kanade using just a selected subset of pixels. They are faster. Both methods have specific applications. Lucas-Kanade is widely used in tracking. The farneback can be used for the analysis of more complex movement in image scene and furder segmentation based on these changes. As dense methods are slightly slower, the GPU and Cuda implementation can lead to great performance improvements to calculate optical flow for all pixels o
Simple Opencv C++ tutorial and example of people detection in video samples and pictures. There is nothing you cannot achieve in few simple steps. People detection and performace tasks in opencv could be solved if you have little bit knowledge of programing. Or just simple follow the steps..
Opencv tutorial instalation of opencv
You can simple prepare the project inside the Visual Studio 2015 by Nuget Packages. This approach is easy for beginers and better than standard installation with all the environmental variables problems. Just follow the installation steps inside here
Opencv is great and complex tools. There is lot of image processing and also machine learning features. You can simply learn your own detector. I would like to prepare some tutorial how to learn your own detector. It is long time run.
All, you need to do, is some experience and basic opencv tools.
under opencv/build/x64/vc14/bin
opencv_createsamples.exe
opencv_traincascade.exe
Prepare your dataset and files with labels are better under linux. You can use simple shall scripts.
This is really for long tutorial, but you can do image annotation in windows as well and maybe use the new tool opencv_annotation,exe, but i dont have any experience with this. My own scripts and programs crop, saves and annotating data. I have own image cropper to prepare datasets. You can build your own dataset in few days. It is tricky to.
First step
Use basic opencv cascades to crop some positive samples from video or better crop precisely the positive samples from your images. Negative samples is not problem. Generate them randomly from your images. Clean and prepare data manually.. This is a worse part. Crop also images selected correctly by default opencv cascade to achieve better results.
Second step
Build your initial detector, which is used for another positive data collecting. Again Clean and prepare data manually. Stupid boring and it takes a long time.
Third
!!Use this on your own risk. !!
Run cloud machine on aws and install opencv 3.1.
Better is memory than number of cores.. Something like
r3.4xlarge cores 16 memory 52 $1.33 per Hour
!!!!On your own risk!!!!
8000 positive and 15000 negatives dataset with 10- 20 stages could take minutes - hours instead of days of learning on your own computer. And it's cheaper than the electricity bill.Time to learn depends on a number of data, parameters, selected machine and many things.I can not guarantee that it goes so fast with your data and parameters.. I do it this way saves time. I am pretty sure that your first detector will be terrible. In the cloud, you can learn 10 detectors day. Which is great
Performance detectMultiScale and parameters
- Source image is 640x480 image. My PC is notebook I7, 4 cores, 8 threads and huge amount of RAM :). Opencv version is 3.1 default for windows machines.
- I have 2 people detector detectMultiScale in the main loop .
- The main performance issue is in scaleFactor parameter and minSize of the object. In faster case, I have 1.1 and in slower case is 1.02 scaleFactor.
- Choose appropriately as needed the minSize parameter. If you have to small window, your program need to check far more options. Size(40,70)
CascadeClassifier at approximately 13 FPS
detectorBody.detectMultiScale(img, human, 1.1, 1, 0 | 1, Size(40,70), Size(80, 300));
detectorUpper.detectMultiScale(img, upperBody, 1.1, 1, 0 | 1, Size(40, 70), Size(80, 300));
CascadeClassifier at approximately 2 FPS
detectorBody.detectMultiScale(img, human, 1.02, 2, 0 | 1, Size(40,70), Size(80, 300));
detectorUpper.detectMultiScale(img, upperBody, 1.02, 2, 0 | 1, Size(40, 70), Size(80, 300));
Opencv HAAR LBP cascade download
I also learn some mine cascade on my own datasets. There are here. To be sure that you can reach them here are the links..
Cascade for car detector download
This is just a basic 5 stage haar cascade car detector, post where to find my cascade to detect cars
Cascade for head and people download
This cascade is also able to use by the tutorial code below. For head and for people detection.
Learned by me on my own data set. cascade for head and people detection
Opencv CascadeClassifier tutorial code
!!Simple as opencv Sample.. Let me add some useful remarks. Some windows OpenCV version of detect multiScale return errors.. 2.9.4 -3.0 maybe 3.1. I don't know why. The classifier returns to many output rectangles out of bound. This does not make sense and kill your program..
If this is an issue of your error on windows.. Switch from debug to release. It helps. !! Really

ReplyDeleteHi ad! In step 1, you mean using default .xml file of openCV to crop and get location for positive images, right ? And this solution is work for detecting human in different position like 'sitting'? thank you very much!!
