SOD - An Embedded Computer Vision & Machine Learning Library
SOD is an embedded, modern cross-platform computer vision and machine learning software library that expose a set of APIs for deep-learning, advanced media analysis & processing including real-time, multi-class object detection and model training on embedded systems with limited computational resource and IoT devices.
Multi-class object detection on the host CPU (no GPU involved).
Real-Time, single-class face detection.
SOD was built to provide a common infrastructure for computer vision applications and to accelerate the use of machine perception in open source as well commercial products.
Modern Computer Vision Algorithms
SOD implements state-of-the-art computer vision algorithms found to be mandatory in real world application areas including but not limited to:
Programming with SOD
Machine Learning for Real-time Applications
Designed for computational efficiency and with a strong focus on real-time applications. SOD includes a comprehensive set of both classic and state-of-the-art deep-neural networks with their pre-trained models. Built with SOD:
Cross platform, dependency free, amalgamated (single C file) and heavily optimized. Real world use cases includes:
-
Detect & recognize objects (faces included) at Real-time.
-
License plate extraction.
-
Intrusion detection.
-
Extract ridges and bifurcations from a fingerprint images.
At PixLab, we believe SOD is
-
Suitable for deep learning on limited computational resource, embedded systems and IoT devices.
-
Reasonably fast, CPU capable RealNets model training without GPU.
-
Easy to integrate with existing code bases. Interpolatable with OpenCV and/or any other proprietary API.

Programming Interfaces
The documentation works both as an API reference and a programming tutorial. It describes the internal structure of the library and guides one in creating applications with a few lines of code. Note that SOD is straightforward to learn, even for new programmer.
