Compile

  1. start cmake-gui.exe, select the opencv source code folder and the folder where binaries will be built (the 2 upper forms of the interface)
  2. press the configure button. you will see all the opencv build parameters in the central interface
  3. (if add contrib repo)browse the parameters and look for the form called OPENCV_EXTRA_MODULES_PATH (use the search form to focus rapidly on it)
  4. (if add contrib repo)complete this OPENCV_EXTRA_MODULES_PATH by the proper pathname to the /modules value using its browse button.
  5. press the configure button followed by the generate button (the first time, you will be asked which makefile style to use)
  6. build the opencv core with the method you chose

    Config

  7. Right click START BUTTON & Choose Command Prompt (Admin)
  8. Type setx -m OPENCV320_INSTALL_DIR D:\opencv3_2\build_manual\install
  9. windows+q, search ‘sys env’, Click Environment variables -> System Variables, find Path and click edit
  10. At the end of the line, add: %OPENCV320_INSTALL_DIR%\x64\vc15\bin
  11. VS2017 -> File, New, Project…(Create an empty project)
  12. Click Property Manager on right side vs panel -> right click Debug x64 -> Add New Property Sheet -> Change name to opencv3_2_manual_x64.props -> Add
  13. Double click opencv3_2_manual_x64 -> VC++ Directories -> Include Directories -> Click the dropdown arrow to the right then click Edit
  14. Click the new folder icon and type: $(OPENCV320_INSTALL_DIR)\include
  15. In the same properties window, -> Linker -> General -> Click the dropdown arrow to the right then click Edit
  16. Click the new folder icon and type: $(OPENCV320_INSTALL_DIR)\x64\vc15\lib
  17. In the same properties window, -> Linker > Input
  18. Choose Additional Dependencies and add Dependencies List
  19. Hit OK to close the properties window.
  20. Replace the code in your main file with the following: ``` c++ #include <opencv2/core/core.hpp> #include <opencv2/highgui/highgui.hpp> #include

using namespace cv; using namespace std;

int main() {

Mat image;
image = imread("Path to image", IMREAD_COLOR); // Read the file

namedWindow("Display window", WINDOW_AUTOSIZE); // Create a window for display.

if (!image.data) // Check for invalid input
	{
		cout << "Could not open or find the image" << std::endl;
	} else {		// Image is good!

		imshow("Display window", image); // Show our image inside it.
	}

waitKey(0);
return 0; } ``` The project is now ready! Change "Path to Image" to a valid image path, and run it.
