1. Install OpenCV in Ubuntu:
(1) Update the list of package repositories:
- sudo apt-get update
- sudo apt-get upgrade
(2) Remove previously installed FFMPEG and x264 libraries:
- sudo apt-get remove ffmpeg x264-dev
(3) Install the necessary packages for compiling the OpenCV sources:
- sudo apt-get install ocl-icd-libopencl1 build-essential checkinstall cmake pkg-config yasm libjpeg-dev libjasper-dev libavcodec-dev libavformat-dev libswscale-dev libdc1394-22-dev libxine2-dev libgstreamer0.10-dev libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-dev libv4l-dev python-dev python-numpy libtbb-dev libqt4-dev libgtk2.0-dev libfaac-dev libmp3lame-dev libopencore-amrnb-dev libopencore-amrwb-dev libtheora-dev libvorbis-dev libxvidcore-dev x264 v4l-utils
(4) Make a directory to download and build OpenCV:
- mkdir opencv
- cd opencv
(5) Download the OpenCV sources for Linux, then unzip it:
- wget -O opencv-2.4.10.zip http://sourceforge.net/projects/opencvlibrary/files/opencv-unix/2.4.10/opencv-2.4.10.zip/download
- unzip opencv-2.4.10.zip
- cd opencv-2.4.10
(6) Create a directory to compile the OpenCV sources:
- mkdir build
- cd build
(7) Building OpenCV sources with CMake and install:
- cmake -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RELEASE -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local -D WITH_TBB=ON -D INSTALL_PYTHON_EXAMPLES=ON -D BUILD_EXAMPLES=ON -D WITH_QT=ON -D WITH_OPENGL=ON ..
(8) Make and install:
- make
- sudo make install
- sudo sh -c 'echo "/usr/local/lib">/etc/ld.so.conf.d/opencv.conf'
- sudo ldconfig
(9) Restart the system for everything to take effect:
- sudo shutdown -r now
2. Test OpenCV in Ubuntu:
(1) Create a directory DisplayImage for test project:
- mkdir DisplayImage
- cd DisplayImage
(2) Create DisplayImage.cpp and edit it:
- gedit DisplayImage.cpp
Then edit the DisplayImage.cpp:
- #include <stdio.h>
- #include <opencv2/opencv.hpp>
- using namespace cv;
- int main(int argc, char** argv)
- {
- if(argc!= 2)
- {
- printf("usage:DisplayImage.out <Image_Path>\n");
- return -1;
- }
- Mat image;
- image = imread(argv[1], 1);
- if(!image.data)
- {
- printf("Noimage data\n");
- return -1;
- }
- namedWindow("DisplayImage",CV_WINDOW_AUTOSIZE);
- imshow("DisplayImage", image);
- waitKey(0);
- return 0;
- }
(3) Create a CMake file:
- gedit CMakeLists.txt
Then edit the CMakeLists.txt:
- cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8)
- project(DisplayImage)
- find_package(OpenCV REQUIRED)
- add_executable(DisplayImage DisplayImage.cpp)
- target_link_libraries(DisplayImage ${OpenCV_LIBS})
(4) Generate the executable file:
- cmake .
- make
(5) Execute it:
- ./DisplayImage lena.jpg
lena.jpg is the test image
ffmpeg error:
cmake ........ -D WITH_FFMPEG=OFF
