Can some suggest a test/development embedded platform to use with OpenCV. I would like to develop an embedded video analytics solution, but I don't know where to start. Some suggestion/ideas/hw starter kits?

Maybe some Pc-104 solutions with Intel Atom? Has someone made some test about performances on this platform or any other embedded platform?

Thanks

A: 

Do you mean OpenCV the computer vision library originally developed by Intel? I would be inclined to start with Moblin, Intel's embedded Linux, at moblin.org and for hw use a netbook or any PC that Moblin supports. Hook up a supported webcam from the list at www.qbik.ch/usb/devices/search_res.php?pattern=webcam . There is a Wikipedia entry that might help. Your project sounds like fun! cheers -- Rick

Yes, I mean OpenCV, the intel computer vision library.My problem is not about the operating system, but the hardware where to compile my code.I was thinking about some PC-104 solutions or something else.

You can use the Blackfin kit from Analog Devices. Analog Devices have created a library similar to opencv for the blackfin DSP processor.

you can use Symbian Simulator for this they Nokia have there Open CV for Symbian for hardware testing you have to drop the mail to them they will provide u the hardware through the telnet for given time of time

OpenCV does not need any "special" hardware to function. You can use it fully using images from normal files (e.g. JPG)

Have you looked at some of the tutorials/code? Do they require something specific that you do not have?
