Project was written in C++. As it was written for educational purposes it intentionally does not use built-in OpenCV algorithms and structures other then the cv::Mat class that is used to store the processed images. Drawing functions are used as well to highlight found toyota signs.

Project building

To build the project you need the OpenCV library and CMake. Create and go to "build" directory in the project's folder. Run:

cmake ..
make

Example of usage

To run the algorithm on a single photo:

./CarBrandDetector ../TestPhotos/toyota1.jpg

To run the algorithm on all test photos:

./CarBrandDetector find ../TestPhotos/*.jpg
