# deepEye - The third eye for Visually Impaired People

[OpenCV](https://opencv.org/) announced its first Spatial AI Competition sponsored by Intel. As we know, OpenCV is a famous open-source computer vision library. They called for participants to solve real-world problems by using [OAK-D](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/opencv/opencv-ai-kit) (OpenCV AI Kit with Depth) module. The OAK-D module has built-in Stereo cameras along with an RGB camera. It also has powerful visual processing unit (Myriad X from Intel) to enable deep neural network inferences on board.

We decided to submit a project proposal for this competition back in July. Our group’s proposal was selected (among 32 out of 235).

So, we propose to build an advanced assist system for the Visually Impaired People to perceive the environment in a better way and would provide seamless, reliable navigation for them at a low cost so that anyone can leverage the benefits of computer vision.

## 💻 Hardware pre-requisite
* [Jetson Nano](https://developer.nvidia.com/embedded/jetson-nano-developer-kit)
* [BW1098FFC depthAI HW](https://docs.luxonis.com/products/bw1098ffc/)
* Smartphone with Android OS

##  📦 Software pre-requisite

### For Jetson: Flash Jetson board to jetpack 4.4 ⚡️

microSD card Prepration:
1. Download Jetson Nano Developer Kit SD Card image [Jetpack4.4 Image](https://developer.nvidia.com/jetson-nano-sd-card-image).
2. Use [etcher](https://www.balena.io/etcher) to burn a image.

CUDA Env PATH :
```bash
if ! grep 'cuda/bin' ${HOME}/.bashrc > /dev/null ; then
 echo "** Add CUDA stuffs into ~/.bashrc"
 echo >> ${HOME}/.bashrc
 echo "export PATH=/usr/local/cuda/bin:\${PATH}" >> ${HOME}/.bashrc
 echo "export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/cuda/lib64:\${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}" >> ${HOME}/.bashrc
fi
source ${HOME}/.bashrc
```

System dependencies :
```bash
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y build-essential make cmake cmake-curses-gui
sudo apt-get install -y git g++ pkg-config curl libfreetype6-dev
sudo apt-get install -y libcanberra-gtk-module libcanberra-gtk3-module
sudo apt-get install -y python3-dev python3-testresources python3-pip
sudo pip3 install -U pip
```

Performance Improvements:

To set Jetson Nano to 10W performance mode (reference), execute the following from a terminal:
```bash
sudo nvpmodel -m 0
sudo jetson_clocks
```
Enable swap:
```bash
sudo fallocate -l 8G /mnt/8GB.swap
sudo mkswap /mnt/8GB.swap
sudo swapon /mnt/8GB.swap
if ! grep swap /etc/fstab > /dev/null; then \
    echo "/mnt/8GB.swap  none  swap  sw  0  0" | sudo tee -a /etc/fstab; \
fi
```
jetson performance analysis:
```bash
pip3 install jetson-stats
```

Recompile a Jetson Linux kernel - Support RFCOMM TTY Support:

We are using RFCOMM Serial protocol for Jetson-Android communication and the defauly kernel doesn't have a support for RFCOMM TTY. So, We have to recompile with new kernel config and update.

```bash
# Basic Update
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y libncurses5-dev

# Downlaod Linux L4T(BSP) Source code from Nvidia Downlaod center
wget https://developer.nvidia.com/embedded/L4T/r32_Release_v4.3/Sources/T210/public_sources.tbz2

tar -xvf public_sources.tbz2

cp Linux_for_Tegra/source/public/kernel_src.tbz2 ~/

pushd ~/

tar -xvf kernel_src.tbz2

pushd ~/kernel/kernel-4.9

zcat /proc/config.gz > .config

# Enable RFCOMM TTY
make menuconfig # Networking Support --> Bluetooth subsystem support ---> Select RFCOMM TTY Support ---> Save ---> Exit

make prepare

make modules_prepare

# Compile kernel as an image file
make -j5 Image

# Compile all kernel modules
make -j5 modules

# Install modules and kernel image
cd ~/kernel/kernel-4.9
sudo make modules_install
sudo cp arch/arm64/boot/Image /boot/Image

# Reboot 
sudo reboot
```

### Depth AI Python Interface Install
```bash

# Install dep
curl -fL http://docs.luxonis.com/install_dependencies.sh | bash
sudo apt install libusb-1.0-0-dev

# USB Udev 
echo 'SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="03e7", MODE="0666"' | sudo tee /etc/udev/rules.d/80-movidius.rules
sudo udevadm control --reload-rules && sudo udevadm trigger

git clone https://github.com/luxonis/depthai-python.git
cd depthai-python
git submodule update --init --recursive
mkdir -p ~/depthai_v1
python3 -m venv ~/depthai_v1
python3 -m pip install -U pip
python3 setup.py develop

# Check the Installation
python3 -c "import depthai"

# Install opencv
cd scripts
bash opencv.sh
cd ..
```

### Camera Calibration
```bash
mkdir -p ~/depthai/ && pushd ~/depthai/
git clone https://github.com/luxonis/depthai.git
popd
cp calibration/config/BW1098FFC.json depthAI/depthai/resources/boards/
pushd ~/depthai/
python3 calibrate.py -s 2 -brd BW1098FFC -ih
```

### Robotic Operating System
We use ROS framework multiprocess communication.
```bash
sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://packages.ros.org/ros/ubuntu $(lsb_release -sc) main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ros-latest.list'
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver 'hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80' --recv-key C1CF6E31E6BADE8868B172B4F42ED6FBAB17C654

sudo apt update

sudo apt install -y ros-melodic-ros-base

# Env setup
echo "source /opt/ros/melodic/setup.bash" >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc

# Dep to build ROS Package
sudo apt install python-rosdep python-rosinstall python-rosinstall-generator python-wstool build-essential

# Install inside virtual env
sudo apt install python-rosdep
rosdep init

rosdep update
```

### Android RFCOMM Setup
We need to configure rfcomm service in order to use the Android application for text to speech feature.

```bash
sudo cp android/startup_linux/deepeye.sh /usr/bin/
sudo chmod a+x /usr/bin/deepeye.sh

sudo cp android/startup_linux/rfcomm.service /etc/systemd/system/
sudo systemctl enable rfcomm
```

### Other Dependency
```bash
python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt

# SOX for txt 2 speech
sudo apt-get install sox libsox-fmt-mp3

```

## 🖖 Quick Start
```bash
# Terminal one
# ROS Master
roscore &

# Terminal Two
# Deepeye core app
pushd deepeye_app
python3 app.py
popd

# Terminal three
# Txt2speech middleware component
pushd deepeye_app
python3 txt2speech/txt2speech.py
popd
```

## 🎛 Advanced uses

### Custom Object Detector
We have retrained an SSD MobileNet SSD-V2 with Open Image dataset. We picked up and trained all the object classes that help visually impaired people to navigate when they go to outdoor environments.

We have added [README](https://github.com/nullbyte91/vision-system/tree/master/custom_model/OI_Dataset) for the end to end training and the OpenVino Conversion before loading to depth AI.

### 🛠 Hardware Details
We plan use the DepthAI USB3 Modular Cameras[BW1098FFC] for POC. We are using RPI and Jeston. The AI/vision processing is done on the depthAI based on Myriad X Arch.
