OpenCV block

in Developing Cinder • 1 year ago

Hey, just checking, what is the status of cinder block for OpenCV?

Is there any place I can get at least an early version?

I am starting a big project that will go on for a while and will require extensively OpenCV, just don't want to start a whole implementation from scratch if there is a block coming soon...

in advance thanks again for all developing this library

Hi Paulo - I've moved where I'm at with this CinderBlock over to my public repo:

http://github.com/andrewfb/cinder_public/tree/opencv/blocks/opencv/

This is still very much a work in progress, but it shows the general design I'm proposing right now (subject of course to community input & feedback).

The heart of the design is really just two (overloaded) functions - toOcv() and fromOcv(). Very intentionally, there are no wrapper classes - instead these two functions make it easy to use Cinder's native classes in combination with the (sometimes overlooked) object-oriented API in OpenCV. There are a few samples that walk you through the process.

This design is all subject to change, but it probably is time for me to start getting other people to start weighing in. At the moment this doesn't include the static library binaries, so you'll have to build OpenCV itself. The README walks you through the process.

I'm on vacation but will try to check the forum when I can, so post any problems you might run into...

Hi - sorry, I've had to travel for 3 of the last 4 weeks, so it's been tough to get time to crank on this, but I am back home now and back into my normal routine. I am trying to modify our FBO design while that stuff is fresh in my mind, but I am hoping to pick the OpenCV back up early in the week. Have you gotten a chance to look at the first pass design in my public repo linked above?

Hi,

I would also appreciate a oficial cinder block very much. I have tried to get it running like described on the github readme but compiling opencv 2.1 on my macbook (snow leopard) throws lot's of errors so I gave up

. Maybe it's time to try it once again!

Btw - nice framework

is this block planned to be available on future git or public Cinder versions?

thanks to all the Cinder developers, this project is growing exponentially!!

Yes, this is the main "big" feature we're trying to get finished before a 0.8.2 release. Most of the code is actually written, but the documentation (as always) is the very slow-going part. If my FBO redesign cooperates over the weekend I'll be diving into this early next week.

How many people are on this core team anyway? Judging by the forum it almost appears a one-man-show ;).

Kind of a lame question to ask here, but I'm new to git... I've pulled down "http://github.com/andrewfb/cinder_public.git", but am not getting the branch with the opencv block. How do I pull that down? Or better yet, just grab the "blocks/opencv" folder?
