900260 Automated Visual Event Detection and Classification : AVEDac Installation This page last changed on Aug 30, 2010 by dcline. # How do I install AVEDac ? AVEDac is distributed as source files that you must compile yourself. Sorry - there are currently no binaries available. We also distribute our scripts to make it easier for you to process your video. Our development platform is Linux and these instructions have been tested on Fedora Core 3, 6, 8, 9 and 10. Fedora 11 is not supported. We have not tested these under Windows with Cygwin or on Mac OS X, but if you would like to try, please let us know what additional libraries and packages you needed to get this to work. Installing the AVEDac software is not for the novice Linux user and requires understanding of how to install RPMs, compile code, and run Bash and Perl scripts on the Linux operating system. There are three main components in the software suite:
AVEDac module name | function
--- | ---
aved-mbarivision | Detection and tracking software
aved-pmbarivision | Parallel version of mbarivision designed to run on a Beowulf cluster. The general installation instructions are the same; Beowulf specific configuration is noted here.
aved-classifier | Classification software
aved-ui | Graphical user interface software used to edit results and run the classification software
### Detailed Installation Steps (aved-mbarivision/aved-pmbarivision) Step 1. Build iLab Saliency Toolkit Step 2. Build and Install XML Libraries Step 3. Build and Install Transcode Software Step 4. Build and Install Quicktime or OpenQuicktime (optional) Step 5. Build and install Berkeley MPEG Encoder (optional, but required for using our scripts) Step 6. Build and Install mbarivision/pmbarivision ### Detailed Installation Steps (aved-ui and aved-classifier) TBD
