| COMPILATION                                            |
+========================================================+

1) Requirements ------------------------------------------

- Borland C++ Builder 6.0
- (optional) MS Visual Studio 2005 or higher (in case of need of an online editing)
- SWI-Prolog library (included)
- OpenCV libraries (included)

2) Compiling ---------------------------------------------

* CameraDll *
  (dll used for real-time /on-line/ video editing to commucation with cameras)
  - Open project file CameraDll.sln in MS Visual Studio
  - Build project
  - In case of other cameras than Uni-brain Fire-wire cameras, it is necessary to implement its own communication core

* VideoEditorRealtime *
  (realtime video editor application to get a meeting cameras scenario)
  - Open project file VideoEditorRealtime.bpr in Borland C++ Builder 6.0
  - Build project

* Parser *
  (create from the cameras scenario and media files XML file for video creating)
  - Open project file Parser.bpr in Borland C++ Builder 6.0
  - For case of using a Hub, you have to set your own connection data in the Client.h file to the machine where the Hub is running or write your own connecting function
  - Build project

* VideoRealtime *
  (video editor application to get a result video from multimedia files and cameras scenario)
  - Open project file VideoEditor.bpr in Borland C++ Bulder 6.0
  - Build project

+========================================================+

1) Requirements ------------------------------------------

* Hardware:
- Dual Core CPU 2.5GHz or better (recommended Quad Core CPU)
- 2GB RAM or more (recommended 4GB RAM)
- nVidia 9000 GPU or better (recommended NV9800 or better)
- minimal space on HDD 10GB
- (optional) Uni-brain Fire-Wire cameras (for on-line editing)

* Software:
- SWI-Prolog installed
- (optional) DivX/XviD codec installed (in case of creating the result video)

2) Off-line editing --------------------------------------

- Follow the video (2009-izakpa-offline-video-editing.wmv)
- Add used algorithms -- click on Add button and select file all.pl
- Add used scenario configuration -- click on Add button and select appropriate configuration file
- Open demanded meeting XML file -- click on Open from XML and select appropriate meeting XML file
- Set demanded mode
- Run editing -- click on Start button
- Save resulting cameras events -- click on Save button and save results

3) On-line editing ---------------------------------------

- Correctly connect all demanded cameras
- Add used algorithms -- click on Add button and select file all.pl
- Add used scenario configuration -- click on Add button and select appropriate configuration file
- Open demanded meeting XML file -- click on Open from XML and select appropriate meeting XML file
- Select on-line mode -- check On-line button
- Set demanded mode -- select RT+Detectors
- Run editing -- click on Start button
- Result is shown immediately on the screen with small delay

4) Create XML file from cameras events -------------------

- Run Parser.exe with parameters:
  -input media_xml_file (media_xml_file is prepared XML file with Media section from the meeting XML file)
  -input_prolog saved_cameras_events_file
  -output meeting_output_file
- For example: Parser.exe -input media.xml -input_prolog camera_events.txt -output meeting_output.xml
- For loading data from Hub, prepend input file name with *HUB* ( input.xml --> *HUB*input.xml )
- All available parameters for Parser.exe you get with run this file alone without parameters

5) Create result video from cameras events ---------------

- Install DivX/XviD codec
- Run VideoEditor.exe with parameters:
  -input meeting_output.xml from 4)
  -output output_video.avi
- For example: VideoEditor.exe -input meeting_output.xml -output result_video.avi
- Select appropriate codec and wait for results
- All available parameters of VideoEditor.exe you get with run this file alone without parameters
