eyefinder / camera platform controlling

Camera platform control for finding eye in a videosequence

Project being developed in STRaDe research group in the Faculty of Information Techonogy in VUT (Brno University of Technology).

Getting Started

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for running purposes

Prerequisites

Dependencies, libraries, softwares and OS used in this project.

Not necessary

Ubuntu 16.04 (Not necessary)

Necessary

CMake - at least version 2.8

OpenCV - version 3.3.0

GCC - version 5.4.0

libserialport - version 0.1.1

Installing

A step by step series of examples that tell you have to get a development env running

Say what the step will be

The CMake file is already done, it's only necessary to follow the next steps for compiling the code

cd eyefinder

cmake .

make

Running the code

The algorithm receives one argument, which is the port device (port_name) of the platform.

For running the code, there are two methods.

First method

sudo ./eyefinder /dev/port_name

Usually, the port_name is /dev/ttyUSB0, but not necessarily.

Second method

If you don't want to run as sudo, you must change the permission for the port device

sudo chmod 666 /dev/port_name

./eyefinder /dev/port_name

Built With

• OpenCV - Computer Vision library
• libserialport - Library used for serial port communication
• CMake - Used for building/compiling/linking C/C++ code

Authors

• Victor Araujo Vieira - IceVct

Acknowledgments

• Algorithm to detect the pupil center was adapted from a translation of this https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/15652-iris-segmentation-using-daugman-s-integrodifferential-operator?focused=3889799&tab=function matlab code to C++ using OpenCV

After running the eyefinder algorithm

For returning the platform for the initial position, one code was developed. Follow the steps bellow for compiling and running this code.

Compiling

In the main folder of the project "./eyefinder", run the following commands

cd MovePlatformBack

gcc movePlatBack.c -lserialport -o movePlatBack

Running

This code requires one argument: the port device name. For running this code, run the following command

sudo ./movePlatBack /dev/port_name

or change the permissions, as explained above and run it normally.
