SOD Embedded

Release 1.1.8

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.

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.

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:

Multi-class object detection

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.
  • Mimic Snapchat filters.
  • Classify human actions.
  • Object identification.
  • Eye & Pupil tracking.
  • Facial & Body shape extraction.
  • Image/Frame segmentation.

Notable SOD features

  • Built for real world and real-time applications.
  • State-of-the-art, CPU optimized deep-neural networks including the brand new, exclusive RealNets architecture.
  • Patent-free, advanced computer vision algorithms.
  • Support major image format.
  • Simple, clean and easy to use API.
  • Brings deep learning on limited computational resource, embedded systems and IoT devices.
  • Easy interpolatable with OpenCV or any other proprietary API.
  • Pre-trained models available for most architectures.
  • CPU capable, RealNets model training.
  • Production ready, cross-platform, high quality source code.
  • SOD is dependency free, written in C, compile and run unmodified on virtually any platform & architecture with a decent C compiler.
  • Amalgamated - All SOD source files are combined into a single C file (sod.c) for easy deployment.
  • Open-source, actively developed & maintained product.
  • Developer friendly support channels.

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.
