RBVMS

For non-commercial use only

Installation

The code has been tested on Ubuntu 18.04 with Python 3.6

1. Install virtualenv

sudo apt install -y python3-venv

2. Clone the Repo

git clone https://github.com/ankursikarwar/RBVMS.git

3. Navigate to the sub-folder

cd RBVMS

4. Initialize virtual environment

python3 -m venv my_env

5. Activate the virtual environment

source my_env/bin/activate

6. Upgrade pip

(my_env) pip install --upgrade pip

7. Install the dependencies

(my_env) pip install -r requirements.txt

8. (Optional) Users may need to change the camera device index based on their webcam configuration. The default camera index is 0. Check line 43 in demo.py and line 42 in demo_visualization.py

9. (Optional) Users can also switch 'on' image enhancement to use the application in low-lighting conditions. See line 44, 45 in demo.py and line 43, 44 in demo_visualization.py

10. Starting the Application

Without Visualization:

(my_env) python demo.py

With Visualization:

(my_env) python demo_visualization.py
