Running Vectorization Side

Setup

Basic Dependencies.

• Python 2.7
• pip
• ffmpeg

Install OpenCV

• Install OpenCV by following this guide to make sure it works with your virtual python environment. TLDR:
  • Create a new virtual env.
  • Install numpy and scipy pip install numpy scipy
  • Install OpenCV dependencies
  • Install the libxml2-dev pakcage sudo apt-get install libxml2-dev
  • Download the latest OpenCV 2.* (The plan is to switch to OpenCV 3 in the future.)
  • Unzip the zip and cd into the directory. Then create a directory release and cd into it.
  • Make sure you are working on your virtual env before running the following command.
    • cmake -D MAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RELEASE -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$VIRTUAL_ENV/local/ -D PYTHON_EXECUTABLE=$VIRTUAL_ENV/bin/python -D PYTHON_PACKAGES_PATH=$VIRTUAL_ENV/lib/python2.7/site-packages ..
  • Run make -j8
  • Run make install
  • Test that OpenCV is working by entering the python shell and importing OpenCV
    • python
    • import cv2

Install Project Dependencies

• Install dependencies by running pip install -r requirements.txt

Running

• Enter vectorization folder cd vectorization/
• Run python vectorization.py
