i think a more effective approach would be to port to use Epiphany. then you have all the resources of OpenCV which which includes object detection... or you can just rip the part you want for your project and be done with it.

Last night I blogged about the story so far.



If all things go well, the next time i have a few hours to hack i should get something going on the epiphany.

This is really incredible! Can't wait to see it running on the Epiphany. Hopefully developing software on the device won't be too painful.

Note that there has been some success getting the USB working on the gen0. @tnt can probably comment.
You will need to ground the ID pin and make sure you have a device tree that supports USB.

I managed to finally get the object detector code "working" today on a single EPU (epiphany processing unit/core). Well by working, I mean it runs to completion without crashing or hanging. I'm not getting the same results as my laptop yet so i need to do some debugging and also make an ARM version for comparison.
