Opencv 2.3.1 Installation

alright it took me a while before posting this. for OPENCV 2.3.1 and Visual studio 2010 Professional on a windows 7 64 bit environment

Download The "super pack" and unzip to "C:\OPENCV"
it seems you can only get the source of opencv and need to compile it with CMAKE.
very straight forward.
download CMAKE and use the command prompt to enter CMAKE CMAKELIST.txt at the opencv directory

Open  "ALL_BUILD" by double clicking - opens up visual studio
Compile it and wait. (took a minute)
go to properties and select the release version and compile again (took another minute)

your all set with the opencv installation "c:\opencv\build"

create an empty visual studio "win32 console application"

Click on Configuration Properties->VC++ Directories, and edit the Include Directories. Add:

C:\opencv\build\common\tbb30_20110427oss\include (UPDATE)
C:\opencv\build\include

Click on Configuration Properties->VC++ Directories, and edit the Library Directories. Add:
C:\opencv\build\common\tbb30_20110427oss\lib\ia32\vc10 (UPDATE)
C:\opencv\build\x86\vc10\lib

Click on Configuration Properties->Linker->Input, and edit the Additional Dependencies. Add:
opencv_core231d.lib
opencv_imgproc231d.lib
opencv_highgui231d.lib
opencv_ml231d.lib
opencv_video231d.lib
opencv_features2d231d.lib
opencv_calib3d231d.lib
opencv_objdetect231d.lib
opencv_contrib231d.lib
opencv_legacy231d.lib
opencv_flann231d.lib

Click on Configuration Properties->Debugging, and edit the Environment.
 PATH=C:\opencv\build\x86\vc10\bin;C:\opencv\build\common\tbb30_20110427oss\bin\ia32\vc10



Your all set.


(UPDATE)
i realized when trying to compile lkdemo.cpp an error:



even though opencv has a tbb folder in the build/common it does not include the complete library so we need to download the whole version from http://threadingbuildingblocks.org/ver.php?fid=171
and unzip it to "c:\opencv\build\common". there is no need to compile it as its already ready for use.

just make the additional changes to the library and include and bin files for this to work.

    I followed your instructions to the letter, and truth to be told they were really helpful.
    Recently I faced a linking problem which I couldn't fix. The error message is as follows,
    "The program can't start because opencv_core231d.dll is missing from your computer. Try re-installing the program to fix this problem"

    Do you've any idea?

    Well.. I solved this problem by coping all the .dlls to the folder where the .exe exists.
    Now, I've another problem regarding tbb_debu! I get the error message,
    "The program can't start because tbb_debug.dll is missing from your computer. Try re-installing the program to fix this problem"

    Sorry, but I solved it with the same method.
    But is there anyway to avoid the stated solution.
    I was almost going to install all my OS just to solve it. It was driving me crazy!

    Thanks anyway.

Computing Entropy of an image (CORRECTED)

entropy is a measure of the uncertainty associated with a random variable. basically i want to get a single value representing the entropy of an image. 1. Assign 255 bins for the range of values between 0-255 2. separate the image into its 3 channels 3. compute histogram for each channel 4. normalize all 3 channels unifirmely 5. for each channel get the bin value (Hc) and use its absolute value (negative log is infinity) 6. compute Hc*log10(Hc) 7. add to entropy and continue with 5 until a single value converges 5. get the frequency of each channel - add all the values of the bin 6. for each bin get a probability - if bin 1 = 20 bin 2 = 30 then frequency is 50 and probability is 20/50 and 30/50 then compute using shannon formula  REFERENCE: http://people.revoledu.com/kardi/tutorial/DecisionTree/how-to-measure-impurity.htm class atsHistogram { public:     cv::Mat DrawHistogram(Mat src)     {         /// Separate the image in 3 places ( R, G and B )

Artificial Intelligence (K Nearest Neighbor) in OPENCV

In pattern recognition , the k -nearest neighbor algorithm ( k -NN) is a method for classifying objects based on closest training examples in the feature space . k -NN is a type of instance-based learning , or lazy learning where the function is only approximated locally and all computation is deferred until classification. The k -nearest neighbor algorithm is amongst the simplest of all machine learning algorithms: an object is classified by a majority vote of its neighbors, with the object being assigned to the class most common amongst its k nearest neighbors ( k is a positive integer , typically small). If k = 1, then the object is simply assigned to the class of its nearest neighbor. The k -NN algorithm can also be adapted for use in estimating continuous variables. One such implementation uses an inverse distance weighted average of the k -nearest multivariate neighbors. This algorithm functions as follows: Compute Euclidean or Mahalanobis distance from target plo

Blob Detection, Connected Component (Pure Opencv)

Connected-component labeling (alternatively connected-component analysis, blob extraction, region labeling, blob discovery, or region extraction) is an algorithmic application of graph theory, where subsets of connected components are uniquely labeled based on a given heuristic. Connected-component labeling is not to be confused with segmentation. i got the initial code from this URL: http://nghiaho.com/?p=1102 However the code did not compile with my setup of OpenCV 2.2, im guessing it was an older version. so a refactored and corrected the errors to come up with this Class class atsBlobFinder     {     public:         atsBlobFinder()         {         }         ///Original Code by http://nghiaho.com/?p=1102         ///Changed and added commments.
