Install OpenCV 2.4.9 in Ubuntu 14.04, 13.10(Ubuntu 14.04, 13.10 下安装 OpenCV 2.4.9)

Install OpenCV

Step 1: Make Directory

mkdir opencv

cd /opencv/

Step 2: Remove any pre-installed ffmpeg and x264

sudo apt-get -qq remove ffmpeg x264 libx264-dev

Step 3: Install Dependenices

As reported by kumaranbus, installing ‘libopencv-dev‘ on non nvidia
graphics card messes up the drivers. As a workaround for non nvidia
cards like AMD/ATI, Radeon, replace libopencv-dev below with
‘ocl-icd-libopencl1‘ which is a generic driver. Please note that I
have not tried this out yet as I have no ATI/Radeon cards to test with

sudo apt-get -qq install libopencv-dev build-essential checkinstall cmake pkg-config yasm libjpeg-dev libjasper-dev libavcodec-dev libavformat-dev libswscale-dev libdc1394-22-dev libxine-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

– Install ffmpeg

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mc3man/trusty-media

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install ffmpeg gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg

Step 4: Download and extract OpenCV

wget -O OpenCV-2.4.9.zip http://fossies.org/linux/misc/opencv-2.4.9.zip

unzip OpenCV-2.4.9.zip

cd opencv-2.4.9

Step 5: Begin Build Process

Note that this bit would take some time to complete

mkdir build

cd build

cmake -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RELEASE -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local -D WITH_TBB=ON -D BUILD_NEW_PYTHON_SUPPORT=ON -D WITH_V4L=ON -D INSTALL_C_EXAMPLES=ON -D INSTALL_PYTHON_EXAMPLES=ON -D BUILD_EXAMPLES=ON -D WITH_QT=ON -D WITH_OPENGL=ON ..

make -j2

sudo make install

sudo sh -c 'echo "/usr/local/lib" > /etc/ld.so.conf.d/opencv.conf'

sudo ldconfig

– Reboot your machine

Step 6: Example using OpenCV

– Change directory to following location

cd /usr/local/share/OpenCV/samples/c

– Execute following commands

sudo chmod +x build_all.sh

sudo ./build_all.sh

./facedetect "/usr/share/opencv/haarcascades/haarcascade_frontalface_alt.xml" lena.jpg

or

./facedetect --cascade="/usr/share/opencv/haarcascades/haarcascade_frontalface_alt.xml" lena.jpg
