Opencv With Java 3el21

Installing OpenCV for Java Getting started... i. the JDK 7 from the Oracle website and install it ii. and install the latest version of the Eclipse IDE (Luna, version 4.4) from the Eclipse s page (suggested package: Eclipse IDE for Java Developers) iii. the OpenCV library (version 2.4.10) from http://opencv.org/

OpenCV Installation under Windows i. Extract the ed OpenCV file in a location of your choice (e.g., C:\opencv ) ii. Done! All you need is: opencv-2410.jar in the ...\opencv\build\java folder opencv_java2410.dll in the ...\opencv\build\java\x64 folder for 64 bit systems or in the ...\opencv\build\java\x86 folder for 32 bit systems the data folder in ...\opencv\sources

OpenCV Installation under Linux/Mac Note: follow this instructions if you want to compile OpenCV under Windows... i. ii. iii. iv. v.

and install CMake, if not already installed on your OS and install Apache Ant, if not already installed on your OS Extract the ed OpenCV file in a location of your choice Open CMake ( cmake-gui ) Put the location of the extracted OpenCV library in the Where is the source code field (e.g., /tmp/opencv2.4.10 ) vi. Put the destination directory of your build in the Where to build the binaries field (e.g., /tmp/opencv2.4.10/build ) vii. Check the Grouped and Advanced checkboxes

viii. Press Configure and use the default compilers for Unix Makefiles ix. In the Ungrouped Entries group, insert the path to the Apache Ant executable (e.g., /opt/apache-ant1.9.4/bin/ant ) x. In the BUILD group, unselect: BUILD_PERF_TESTS BUILD_SHARED_LIBRARY to make the Java bindings dynamic library all-sufficient BUILD_TESTS xi. In the CMAKE group, set to Debug (or Release ) the CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE xii. In the JAVA group: insert the Java AWT include path (e.g., /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-oracle/include/ ) insert the Java AWT library path (e.g., /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-oracle/include/jawt.h ) insert the Java include path (e.g., /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-oracle/include/ ) insert the alternative Java include path (e.g., /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-oracle/include/linux ) insert the JVM library path (e.g., /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-oracle/include/jni.h ) xiii. Press Configure two times xiv. The CMake window should appear with a white background, now: press Generate and close CMake

xv. Open the terminal and go to the build folder of OpenCV xvi. Build eveything with the command: make -j xvii. Wait... xviii. Done! All you need is: opencv-2410.jar in the .../opencv-2.4.10/build/bin directory libopencv_java2410.so in the .../opencv-2.4.10/build/lib/ directory the data directory in .../opencv-2.4.9/

OpenCV for Java in Eclipse i. Open Eclipse and select a workspace of your choice ii. Create a Library , ready to be used on all the next projects: select Window > Preferences... from the menu navigate under Java > Build Path > Libraries and choose New... enter a name for the library (e.g., opencv2 ) select the newly created library and choose Add External JARs... browse to select opencv-2410.jar after adding the jar, extend it and select Native library location and press Edit... select External Folder... and browse to select the folder containing the OpenCV libraries (e.g., C:\opencv\build\java\x64 under Windows)

A console-based OpenCV Java project Note: the project created by following the next steps is available in the course page on the Teaching Portal i. In Eclipse, create a new Java project ( File > New > Java Project or File > New > Project... > Java Project ) ii. Choose HelloCV as the project name iii. On the Java Settings step, under Libraries , select Add Library... , then the newly created Library (e.g., opencv2 ), and click Finish iv. Choose Finish to complete the project creation v. Create a new Java class, in a package of your choice and by using the following code. The output of running the code should be a 3x3 identity matrix. Source code: import org.opencv.core.CvType; import org.opencv.core.Mat; import org.opencv.core.Core; public class HelloCV

{ public static void main(String[] args) { System.loadLibrary(Core.NATIVE_LIBRARY_NAME); Mat mat = Mat.eye(3, 3, CvType.CV_8UC1); System.out.println("mat = " + mat.dump()); } } Expected output: mat = [1, 0, 0; 0, 1, 0; 0, 0, 1]

Fun with the GUIs Note: the project created by following the next steps is available in the course page on the Teaching Portal The e(fx)clipse plugin and the Scene Builder application are not strictly mandatory for create a JavaFX project: they are only helpers... i. In Eclipse, install the version 0.9.0 (instead of version 1.0.0) of the e(fx)clipse plugin, by following the guide at http://www.eclipse.org/efxclipse/install.html#for-the-ambitious If you choose not to install such a plugin, you have to create a traditional Java project and add jfxrt.jar (present in the JDK folder) to the project's libraries. ii. [Optional] and install the JavaFX Scene Builder from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/s/javafxscenebuilder-info-2157684.html iii. Create a new JavaFX project with a name (e.g., FXHelloCV) and a package at your choice in FXML format that includes the OpenCV Library iv. The project should contain 4 files: Main.java takes care of the standard Java code required for an FXML application FXHelloCVController.java is the controller file for handling the mouse and keyboard input application.css contains the CSS style for the application FXHelloCV.fxml is the FXML source file in which the interface is defined v. Rename Main.java to FXHelloCV.java so that the name is more meaningfull for this project vi. Edit the project files as shown in the following code. The expected output is reported after the source code. FXHelloCV.fxml source:

Known bugs On Linux, for some (old) webcams, OpenCV can report the following error(s): HIGHGUI ERROR: V4L2: Pixel format of incoming image is uned by OpenCV` VIDIOC_STREAMON: Bad file descriptor Such a problem can be resolved by setting the LD_PRELOAD environment variable to /usr/lib/x86_64-linuxgnu/libv4l/v4l1compat.so (or /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libv4l/v4l1compat.so for 32 bit systems) directly in Eclipse
