Hi guys,
I'm planning to write an application using C# using the SR300 camera. I will need some hand gestures and facial recognition.
It will run on an Intel Joule and I'm trying to find a way to make it happen.
Idea 1: Can Intel Joule run full Windows 10 (and therefore, the full RealSense SDK)? If yes, this would be so easy!
Idea 2: Use Librealsense.
The problem is that librealsense is written in C++ and is very limited, so I would have to use something like openCV to get hand gestures and facial recognition. Unfortunately C++ is not my thing.
Idea 3: Port librealsense to UWP and use it with Windows 10 IoT on Joule.
I tried, everything compiles but a external dependency called ks.h, which appears to be missing on UWP. Any thoughts here?
Idea 4: Write a librealsense wrapper in C# and use DotNet Core to run it on Ubuntu.
I wrote a small P.O.C. and it seems to work (I ported just one function to validate the idea). The problem now is to find a way to do the same with openCV (there are some wrappers out there, but not for dotnet core).
Idea 5: The same as idea 4, but using Mono
Same problems of idea 4, but there is one openCV wrapper using Mono.
Idea 6: Learn C++
I would love to, but I won't have the time.
Well, that's a challenge, please, any thoughts would be greatly appreciated :)
