OpenCV Development & Testing (1)

 

1.  Installing the Open CV

   - http://opencv.willowgarage.com/wiki/  : Open CV Homepage contained the S/W and documents.

     : I downloaded the Open CV 2.3.1 Windows Installation Version

2. Setting configurations on Visual Studio 2010

   - Put below include directories on Project –> <ProjectName>Properties->VC++ Directories->Include Directories

      : C:\Program Files\opencv\build\include\opencv, C:\Program Files\opencv\build\include\opencv2, C:\Program Files\opencv\build\include\

   - Put library directories on Project –> <ProjectName>Properties->VC++ Directories->Library Directories

     : C:\Program Files\opencv\build\x86\vc10\lib

  - Add Open CV libraries on Project –> <ProjectName>Properties->Linker->Input

     : opencv_core231d.lib; opencv_contrib231d.lib;  opencv_calib3d231d.lib; opencv_features2d231d.lib; opencv_flann231d.lib; opencv_gpu231d.lib; opencv_haartraining_engined.lib; opencv_highgui231d.lib; opencv_imgproc231d.lib; opencv_legacy231d.lib; opencv_ml231d.lib; opencv_objdetect231d.lib; opencv_ts231d.lib; opencv_video231d.lib;   

  - Add the directory of the included Open CV DLLs into %path% on Start->My Computer->Properties->System Environments

     : C:\Program Files\opencv\build\x86\vc10\bin

      --> it was important because if not, you have to copy & paste all DLLs into project directory

3. Download TBB dlls

   -   A pre-compiled Open CV 2.3 only includes tbb.dll not tbb_debug.dll. Therefore, download it from the below link and put all of dlls and libs to the open cv bin folder.

       : http://threadingbuildingblocks.org/file.php?fid=77 : Intel TBB download site.  

 

PS. ‘CvvImage’ class isn’t defined over Open CV 2.2 versions

  - Because its member functions, Load() and CopyOf() have some bugs.

    : If you want to use it, you have to use under 2.1 versions. Moreover, you have to fix bugs used the below link.
