ARM Linux QuickStart

Note:The sample is only used to help customers understand how to call SDK interface, test basic functions, and to show some sample code. In actual development process, customers can refer to or change the sample code, or rewrite the entire program.

Linux platform provides sample demos written in C ++ and Java. We use Ubuntu system and OpenCV 3.2.0 as an example to show the configuration steps.

Note: SDK itself does not have any dependency on OpenCV library. OpenCV library is only necessary for sample demos and the required library is OpenCV 3.2.0. ARM platform provides a sample demo written in C ++. Linux firefly 3.10.0 ARMv7 system is used as an example to show how to configure and run the sample.

Install OpenCV library

1. Download OpenCV source code

OpenCV 2.4.10 is recommended for ARM platform download link.

2. Install cmake-gui

sudo apt-get install cmake-gui

Run "sudo apt-get update" if necessary.

3. Cross compilation configuration for OpenCV using cmake-gui

a). Open cmake-gui

sudo cmake-gui

b). Set the directories for source code and compiled library

Fill in the path for source code at "Where is the source"; fill in the path for generated make file at "Where to build the binaries", click Configure and select the last option "Specify options for cross-compiling", then click NEXT.

c). Configure cross compilation options

Select the target system of arm-linux using the Operating System option.

By Compilers, select cross compiler gcc and g++. Pay attention to which compilation method is used here and select the correct path for the compilation command accordingly. Find the directory for the installed compiler, for example: C:/usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc; C++:/usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-g++.

"Select the header file directory (required for cross compilation) from Target Root in Find Program/Library/Include, press Finish".

d). Modify cmake configuration for compiling OpenCV

After the configuration is complete, a red area will appear, inside this area are the options that can be configured.

Check the options BUILD_JPEG and BUILD_PNG; uncheck WITH_TIFF if tiff is not installed.

Find the CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX option, modify the directory to be the same one as filled in by "where to build the binaries" in step b).

Uncheck WITH_CUDA if cuda library is not present in arm system.

Click Configure after configuration, then Generate, a Makefile should be generated in the OpenCV compilation directory.

e). Modify compilation configuration

Go to OpenCV installation directory to modify CMakeCache.txt. Add -lpthread -lrt -ldl to CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS and save.

f). Compilation

Run:

make

During compilation, if an error of recompile with -fPIC appears, a corresponding error module should be looked for, such as zlib module. Add -fPIC to the directory of 3rdparty/zlib/CMakeFiles/zlib.dir/flags.make.

If the error cannot be found by multi-thread related functions, then add a head file into the source code modules\ts\src\ts_gtest.cpp:

#include <pthread.h>

g). Installation

Run:

sudo make install

Run C++ sample

Similar to how C++ sample in x86, x64 Linux systems is run:

1. Go to the directory of the sample: sdk\samples\c++_armv7

2. Run make command

3. SDK authorization configuration

Following this sample, the authorization file XXXXXX.lic should be saved in the directory of license_filepath, which is defined in the sample configuration file (XXXXX.ini). When running the sample, the SDK authorization interface will load the authorization file XXX.lic from this directory. The authorization interface must be called successfully before any other algorithm interface is called.

Special note: When running the sample, if the license file is replaced, the senseid_facepro_sn folder needs to be deleted (this folder corresponds to the activation_code_dir folder path inside the configuration file XXX.ini, which can be customized) and its activation file; lic file is corresponding to the activation file.

For the authorization interface definition, please refer to Authorization interface definition. Sample shows a commonly used method to call the online activation version license: 1. load the provided license file from the stid_face_professional_online_activate_license interface. 2. From the stid_face_professional_online_activate_license interface, connect to network to activate the license. 3. From the stid_face_professional_online_activate_license interface, output the new license contents after activation. 4. From stid_face_professional_load_license_content interface, load the new license contents. 5. stid_face_professional_load_license_content interface returns STID_OK, authorization authentication process completed successfully. 6. stid_license_release_content releases the activated license contents, end of process.

4. Run sample

There are two ways to run the sample:

1). Run the .sh script corresponding to the sample file, run_sample_face_XXX.sh (sh does not have execute permission, need to run chmod +x to change its permission).

2). Set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the path of the library folder sdk\libs\linux-x86_64, run test_sample_face_XXX (For example: LD_LIBRARY_PATH=../../libs/linux-x86_64 test_sample_face_XXX [parameters]).

For the parameters, please refer to the third section of this document: Sample function introduction and parameter description.

Sample function introduction and parameter description

Function introduction and parameter description

Note: The parameters include command line parameters and configuration parameters. Command line parameters provide parameters required for specific functions of the sample; configuration parameters provide basic settings for each sample, such as the path to the authorization file and the path to the model file. 2. When running the sample, if the license file is replaced, the senseid_facepro_sn folder needs to be deleted (this folder corresponds to the activation_code_dir folder path inside the configuration file XXX.ini, which can be customized) and its activation file.
