Pixy Simulation

Pixy Software
#1

Hi there!

I’m trying to use pixymon to test the pixy algorithm on pre-recorded aerial footage (a baseline dataset). I understand that pixymon effectively simulates the tracking algorithm onboard the pixy, by acquiring images from the sensor over usb. Is it possible to use pixymon to simulate the algorithm on the locally stored images, i.e. the pre-recorded footage?

I’m a little unsure whether this is even feasible, and if so, how to begin. My initial approach would be to look into modifying cccmodule, or adding a monmodule where the user can add the path to the pre-recorded image set for it to then be processed by the algorithm…

Any guidance regarding this would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
David

Hi David,
It should be possible, but it sounds like a chunk of work. You’ll need to take the video footage and convert it to the Bayer format (BA81) that Pixy uses. You can then somehow insert the images into the renderer class.

Hope this helps!
