Detecting Road Signs in Mapillary Images with dlib C++

image

I've been interested in computer vision for a long time, but I haven't had any free time to make any progress until this holiday season. Over Christmas and the New Years I experimented with various methodologies in OpenCV to detect road signs and other objects of interest to OpenStreetMap. After some failed experiments with thresholding and feature detection, the excellent /r/computervision suggested using the dlib C++ module because it has more consistently-good documentation and the pre-built tools are faster.

After a day or two figuring out how to compile the examples, I finally made some progress:

  1. Clone dlib from Github to your local machine:

Installing Intel CPU OpenCL on Ubuntu 12.04

Open Computing Language (OpenCL) is a language and framework for writing computationally intensive kernels that run accross heterogenious platforms, including GPUs, CPUs, and perhaps other more esoteric devices.

Intel provides an OpenCL implementation for Intel CPUs, but there's not a lot of instructions on how to get it set up. Here's what I did.

Installing Intel CPU OpenCL on Ubuntu (12.04)

  1. Download the Intel® SDK for OpenCL* Applications XE 2013 from the Intel website, here http://software.intel.com/en-us/vcsource/tools/opencl-sdk-xe. The download is a tarball -- the one I got is called intel_sdk_for_ocl_applications_2013_xe_sdk_3.0.67279_x64.tgz
  2. Unpack the tarball and cd into the new directory
