Senior Design Project Code Repo University of Colorado in Denver Authors: Alex Grand, Huong Nugyen, Robert Dunn, Katherine Falkenstine
This code is designed for the DragonBoard 410C platform but should be portable to most ARM based systems. Installation dependcies may vary if a 32-bit architecture is used or if anything under an ARM A-53 Cortex is used as the main CPU.
This is a code repo for the CleverCane senior design project. The project is aimed at using computer vision, embedded engineering and neural networks to create a device to assist the visually impaired. The goal in mind is to have an object detection system for head height objects not found by traditional assistance canes and a smart object detection system to navigate traffic intersection.
The whole system uses multiprocessing to spawn processes for each subsystem. A main process will control data flow and general decision making while subprocesses run video streaming, object detection, sonar gathering and audio functionality.
This will require sudo permisions on the system.
To install dependencies, run:
./config/setup.sh install
To check functionality, run:
./config/setup.sh no-deps
To start the whole system(after installing dependencies), run
python run.py
Each module file in the home directory can runon its own for further testing/debugging. Stay tuned for more.
