Plumerai People Detection for Cortex-M library¶
This document describes how to use Plumerai’s people detection library on Arm Cortex-M microcontrollers. For documentation about the API and an example, please look here. Go here for more information about Plumerai’s people detection solution and to try it out yourself.
Overview¶
Plumerai's people detection software expects a video feed and computes bounding boxes with a confidence value for each detected person. For the best results we recommend mounting the camera to a fixed position. The software works with a pre-determined input resolution (e.g. 320x240) in a 3-channel RGB format either as RGB888 (3 bytes per pixel) or RGB565 (2 bytes per pixel). If your camera produces images in a different format, Plumerai can provide an optimized resize/convert function specific for your use-case.
Contents of the package¶
The library package consists of the following files inside a plumerai_people_detection_micro.zip archive:
plumerai_people_detection_micro/include/plumerai/people_detection_micro.h
plumerai_people_detection_micro/include/plumerai/model_defines.h
plumerai_people_detection_micro/lib/{target}/libplumerai_people_detection_micro.a
{target} can be arm-cortex-m7-fpv5-d16-hard or arm-cortex-m4-fpv4-sp-d16-hard for example, indicating (in order) the target micro-controller family (e.g. arm-cortex-m4), the FPU type (e.g. fpv4-sp-d16), and the float-abi (e.g. hard). Building¶
To build, make sure the header files can be found on the compiler include path, and link with the libplumerai_people_detection_micro.a suited for your target device. An example (device-agnostic) application can be found at the bottom of the API page. You’ll have to add your own device-specific start-up code, camera read-out code, and other boilerplate code to actually run it on device.
