Prerequisites

This code was developed under Linux (Debian wheezy, 64 bit) and was tested only in this environment.
HDF5 1.8
CMake
C++ 11
CUDA >=7.5
Caffe building instructions
Gurobi optimizer 6.0.x

Installation Instructions

Clone repository

$ git clone https://github.com/eldar/deepcut --recursive

Build Caffe and its MATLAB interface after configuring Makefile.config
```
$ cd external/caffe
$ make -j 4 all matcaffe
```

Build liblinear, specify the path to the MATLAB installation

$ cd external/liblinear-1.94/matlab
$ CC=gcc CXX=g++ MATLABDIR=/usr/lib/matlab-8.6/ make

Build solver

$ cd external/solver
$ cmake . -DGUROBI_ROOT_DIR=/path/to/gurobi603/linux64 -DGUROBI_VERSION=60
$ make solver-callback

Obtain Gurobi license from http://www.gurobi.com/downloads/licenses/license-center and place the license file license.lic in data/gurobi or modify parameter p.gurobi_license_file in lib/pose/exp_params.m to point to the license file location

Download models

$ cd data
$ ./download_models.sh

Run Demo

$ cd <root_dir>
$ ./start_matlab.sh
