Reading an Image
#include <opencv2/core/core.hpp>
#include <opencv2/highgui/highgui.hpp>
#include <iostream>
using namespace cv;
using namespace std;
int main( int argc, char** argv )
{
if( argc != 2)
{
cout <<" Usage: display_image ImageToLoadAndDisplay" << endl;
return -1;
}
Mat image;
image = imread(argv[1], CV_LOAD_IMAGE_COLOR); // Read the file
if(! image.data ) // Check for invalid input
{
cout << "Could not open or find the image" << std::endl ;
return -1;
}
namedWindow( "Display window", WINDOW_AUTOSIZE );// Create a window for display.
imshow( "Display window", image ); // Show our image inside it.
waitKey(0); // Wait for a keystroke in the window
return 0;
}

Running test code !!!
●
Setting command line argument
– Project -> Run as-> Run Configurations

Compile code without Eclipse
●
Save code as .cpp using an text editor
●
Compile using following command
● $ g++ <input_file.cpp> `pkg-config
opencv –cflags –libs` -o
<output_name>
● $ ./output_name

OpenCV Modules
●
OpenCV has modular structure
●
OpenCV contain several shared/static libraries
● Core : Contain basic image data structure such as
Mat
● Imgproc : image processing module contain linear
and non linear filter, color space conversion,
histogram etc
● Video : Motion estimation, background substraction,
object tracking algorithms etc

OpenCV Modules
● Calib3d : mainly for camera calibration
● Features2d : contain feature detectors,
descriptors and descriptor matchers
● Objdetect: contain object detection algorithms
● Highgui: contain UI functionality to handle video
and image
● Gpu : GPU-accelerated algorithms

About OpenCV API's
● All OpenCV classes are placed in cv
namespace
