OpenCV

[coke]

Has anyone had any luck getting this compiled or installed on ubuntu Jaunty? It's showing up in the repos, but won't install due to broken dependencies, and I can't get past make.

Code: Select all

../include/opencv/highgui.hpp:69: note: candidates are: cv::Mat cv::imdecode(const std::vector<unsigned char, std::allocator<unsigned> >&, int)
../include/opencv/highgui.hpp:70: note:                 cv::Mat cv::imdecode(const cv::Mat&, int)
make[2]: *** [lib_highgui_la-cvcap_v4l.lo] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/cmadmin/Desktop/opencv/trunk/opencv/src'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

OpenCV doesn't need compilation on Ubuntu; just install it from Synaptic. It does work but the bttv driver loaded for my PV-149 capture card is unstable and causes the OpenCV app to terminate.

I recommend the O'Reilly book "Learning OpenCV Computer Vision with the OpenCV Library" by Bradski and Kaebler.

I'm hoping to use OpenCV with zm as a motion-detecting front-end but am just starting on the zm install.
