1. Description
---------------
QOpenTLD is a C++ implementation of TLD (aka Predator).
TLD is an algorithm for tracking of unknown objects in unconstrained video streams. The object of interest is defined by a bounding box in a
single frame. TLD simultaneously tracks the object, learns its appearance and detects it whenever it appears in the video.
2. Licensing
-------------
This source code and the TLD algorithm are both released under the GPL license version 3.0. For alternative TLD algorithm licensing options
contact zdenek.kalal at gmail dot com.
2. Dependencies
----------------
QOpenTLD requires:
Qt 4.3.7
OpenCV 2.2
MS VS2008 / gcc
3. Supported Platforms
-----------------------
Windows XP SP3 / Visual Studio 2008 (Tested)
Linux / GNU G++ (Untested)
4. Building
------------
Install Qt 4.7.3 or higher from http://qt.nokia.com/downloads/
Install OpenCV 2.2 from http://opencv.willowgarage.com with any/all of the optional packages
such as TBB, eigen, etc. Note you do not need to build OpenCV with Qt support.
Define QTDIR and OPENCV in your environment to point to the installation trees for Qt and OpenCV respectively.
4.1 Visual Studio / Windows
---------------------------
Start Visual Studio and load the solution file (QOpenTLD.sln).
Modify the QOpenTLD project configuration properties and the set debugging environment to:
PATH=$(QTDIR)\bin;$(OPENCV)\bin;$(SolutionDir)\bin;$(PATH) plus the path to any of the optional
OpenCV packages (TBB, eigen, etc).
Build the solution.
4.2 GCC / Linux
------------------
cd to the QOpenTLD instlation dir. Edit set_env.sh with the correct locations for any thirdp party ssoftware (eg Qt, OpenCV).
% . ./set_env.sh
% qmake
% make
4.3 Android
-----------
All of the software packages used by QOpenTLD have ports to Android.
5. Installation
----------------
TBD
