HARK-OPENCV

HARK-OPENCV provides OpenCV-based image processing in HARK.

HARK-OPENCV Concepts

We provide multiple object tracking and feature extraction which are perfectly compatible with HARK audio processing. The benefits are as follows.

  1. Provides the latest image processing based on OpenCV to HARK
  2. GUI based image processing programing
  3. Integration of image-based multiple object tracking and audio-based sound source tracking
  4. Integration of an image-based feature and an audio-based feature
  5. Perfect compatibility with HARK audio processing

HARK-OPENCV Functionalities

 

All the following functionalities are available in HARK

  • Image I/O
  • Image filtering such as binarization, etc.
  • Image-based object segmentation such as Hough circle detection, etc.
  • Image-based multiple object tracking for each segments
  • Image-based feature extraction for each segments such as surf, etc.
  • Data transformation for integrating with HARK audio processing results

HARK-OPENCV Installation Instructions

Pre-requisites

OpenCV

OpenCV-2.4 is OK for HARK-OPENCV.
See OpenCV official site for the detail.

  • Example in Ubuntu 16.04
sudo apt install libopencv-dev

HARK

  • hark-base, harkmw, hark-core (for HARK main software)
  • hark-opencv (optional modules for the OpenCV)

See next subsection for the installation detail.

 

Installation from pre-compiled binaries

Compilation Environment

  • OS
    • Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial (64bit)

For other environments, please go for the source compilation.

 

Installation

For adding the HARK repository, see HARK Installation Instructions.

HARK-OPENCV installation

sudo apt install hark-opencv2

 

Installation from source compilation (Optional)

Supported Environment

  • OS
    • Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial (64bit)

 

Step1 : OpenCV Installation

Fistly, install OpenCV fundamental packages before you proceed.

sudo apt install libopencv-dev

 

Step2 : HARK Basic Package Installation

For adding the HARK repository, see HARK Installation Instructions.

Hereinafter, the source compilation of only HARK-OPENCV package is explained.
We assume that the HARK basic packages are installed by pre-compiled bineries.

HARK-OPENCV package is installed by source compilation in the next subsection.

 

Step3 : HARK-OPENCV Package Installation

Firstly, move to your preferred directory to download source codes.

apt source hark-opencv2

 

Compile and install the source codes.

cd hark-opencv2-*.*.*
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
sudo make install

The “*.*.*” describes the package version.

 

Check the installation

To check the HARK-OPENCV installation, follow this section.

Run HARK-designer in a new terminal.

hark_designer

 

Then, you will find a browser is opend.
HARK-OPENCV modules can be found at the following place.

Preferences > Packages > hark-opencv2.json

or

Preferences > Version > HARKOPENCV2 *.*.* (Revision:*)
