Sharing my experience with a windows laptop

[baicaigithub]

tl;dr: with some changes, this project still work in 2022. However the speed is not impressive, especially given there are solutions like YOLO which may be much faster.

Before I start, I have a windows laptop with core i5 1035g.

I tried using anaconda + conan + cmake, I gave up because I couldn't make cmake/gcc work correctly. In fact, I wish I had a linux machine to start with.

I switched to visual studio for compilation. It worked.

Things I changed:

• Created a profile in conan with detection.
• Need to place conan generated files to VS folder. conan install . -if=C:\Users\user\...\build\x64-Release
• opencv version changed to 3.4.17, which is available in conan.
• CourtLinePixelDetector.cpp:filterLinePixels, changed at<float> to at<Vec2f>(0,0)[0] and at<Vec2f>(0,0)[1]
• CourtLineCandidateDetector::getRefinedParameters changed X.at<float>(0,i) to X.at<float>(i,0)

What I got:

• Court detection works, even on clay court
• Accuracy seems a bit low. I can see the physical line not overlapping with the drawn line
• Speed is extremely slow on my laptop. 30s with power and 2min without power on a single 720p frame.
