Akihabara is Vignette's pure .NET port of Mediapipe, based on Junrou Nishida's MediaPipeUnity project.
Almost everything is done via the build.py script, so run this first. This will fetch the Mediapipe source, apply patches and finally compile the glue library + Mediapipe itself in one nifty small library. However, you will still need to do the dotnet side, which is just a matter of dotnet build after getting setup.py done.
Keep in mind Mediapipe supports both CPU and GPU so you will need to compile as such based on what you need:
If you want CPU (Recommended)
build.py build --desktop cpu -vv
If you want GPU (Experimental, doesn't work yet!)
build.py build --desktop gpu --vv
- Python 3.9 (We tried it with 3.8 but for some odd reason things were broken for this build. PRs welcome to fix this though!)
- .NET 5.0 or .NET 6.0 LTS
- GCC-9 (GCC-10 also works but not guranteed to work since Mediapipe uses a lot of deprecated syntax).
- Bazel
