## Requirements

* OpenCV 3

And the following python requirements:

* Theano
* Lasagne (Dev)
* numpy
* scipy
* flufl.lock
* parse
* h5py

which can be installed with

```bash
pip install -r requirements.txt
```

## Usage

Build the shared library by

```bash
cd c-code/build
cmake ..
make
```

To run the test program simply

```bash
./run.sh
```

## Note

This model was trained with SfM data (Piccadilly Circus dataset), which does not have strong rotation changes. Newer models work better in this case, which will be released soon. In the meantime, you can also use the models in the [learn-orientation](http://github.com/cvlab-epfl/learn-orientation), [benchmark-orientation](http://github.com/cvlab-epfl/benchmark-orientation).
