Introduction To OpenCV

The document provides an introduction and overview of OpenCV including what it is, what it can do, and how to set it up in Visual Studio 2008 and CodeBlocks. OpenCV is an open-source library for image processing and computer vision. It can be used for image manipulation, I/O, processing, analysis, recognition and more. Setup involves downloading OpenCV, installing dependencies, configuring include and library paths in the IDE, and adding OpenCV library files in the project properties. A sample program is provided to load and display an image.

Download OpenCV and
install
Download the OpenCV
2.1.0 Windows installer from
SourceForge- "OpenCV-2.1.0-win32-
vs2008.exe".
Install it to a folder (without any
spaces in it), say "C:\OpenCV2.1\".
This article will refer to this path as
$openCVDir
During installation, enable the option

Setup OpenCV in VS2008
1. Configure Visual Studio
Open VC++ Directories configuration: Tools > Options
> Projects and Solutions > VC++ Directories
Choose "Show directories for: Include files"
Add "$openCVDir\include\opencv"
Choose "Show directories for: Library files"
Add "$openCVDir\lib"
Choose "Show directories for: Source files"
Add "$openCVDir\src\cv"
Add "$openCVDir\src\cvaux"
Add "$openCVDir\src\cxcore"
Add "$openCVDir\src\highgui"
Setup OpenCV in VS2008
2. Configure your Project
After you've created a project you'll need to add the OpenCV
dependencies.
Open Project Properties: Project > %projectName% Properties...
Open Linker Input properties: Configuration Properties > Linker
> Input
Open the "..." window to edit "Additional Dependencies" and on
each line put:
"cv210.lib"
"cxcore210.lib"
"highgui210.lib"
And any other lib file necessary for your project
Your project should now build. If you get any errors try restarting
Visual Studio and then doing a clean Rebuild.
