MobileNetV1_SSD for the Deep Learning module of OpenCV

A example of OpenCV dnn framework working on a bare Raspberry Pi with Caffe models.

Paper: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1612.08242.pdf

Special made for a bare Raspberry Pi 4 see Q-engineering deep learning examples

Training set: VOC2007
Size: 300x300
Frame rate: 3.66 FPS (RPi 4)

Dependencies.

To run the application, you have to:

• A raspberry Pi 4 with a 32 or 64-bit operating system. It can be the Raspberry 64-bit OS, or Ubuntu 18.04 / 20.04. Install 64-bit OS
  
• OpenCV 64 bit installed. Install OpenCV 4.5
  
• Code::Blocks installed. ($ sudo apt-get install codeblocks)

---

Installing the app.

To extract and run the network in Code::Blocks
$ mkdir MyDir
$ cd MyDir
$ wget https://github.com/Qengineering/MobileNetV1_SSD_OpenCV_Caffe/archive/refs/heads/master.zip
$ unzip -j master.zip
Remove master.zip and README.md as they are no longer needed.
$ rm master.zip
$ rm README.md

Your MyDir folder must now look like this:
04545.jpg
MobileNetSSD_deploy.caffemodel
MobileNetSSD_deploy.prototxt
TestOpenCV_Caffe.cpb
MobileNet.cpp

---

Running the app.

To run the application load the project file TestOpenCV_Caffe.cbp in Code::Blocks. More info or
if you want to connect a camera to the app, follow the instructions at Hands-On.
