A few years ago, tried to run face detection on BBB. This time trying it on the more powerful UDOO platform. Some minor code changes:
- Move from Python module cv to cv2
- OpenCV 3.x
My UDOO is running Arch Linux with kernel 4.9. Note that the libGL included in "imx-gpu-viv-fb" doesn't work properly with OpenCV. Switching to "mesa-libgl" solved the issue.
$ sudo pacman -Sy mesa-libgl opencv python2-numpy
A Logitech C200 USB web camera is plugged in and detected automatically.

The camera supports maximum resolution of 640x480. But reducing the capture to 320x240 (line 9-10) produces a smoother video on UDOO.
The refresh rate is approximately 30fps. Change the waitKey parameter (line 58) to adjust it.
