When trying to build program with subj I get numerous "ambiguous symbol" errors in opencv2/core/types_c.h and uppsrc\Core/Defs.h files.

How do I fix it? Plus, maybe there are some practices using algorithms from OpenCV in U++?

Hello Artem

Kasome did a post with a nice sample here.

If you need more help we can upload a simpler demo.

Are you using linux or windows?


Best regards
Iñaki

Well, as far as I can see in given example only opencv v1 was used. I use 2.2 (opencv2 API).

No fuctional yet, just exploring:

#include <opencv2/opencv.hpp>
#include <CtrlLib/CtrlLib.h>
using namespace Upp;

void proto1::FileOpenClick()
{
	selectDlg.ExecuteOpen();
	IplImage* img = cvLoadImage(~selectDlg); 
}


Gives erros:

Quote:

c:\upp\uppsrc\core\config.h(97) : warning C4005: '_CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE' : macro redefinition
C:\OpenCV2.2\include\opencv2/core/types_c.h(47) : see previous definition of '_CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE'
C:\MyApps\proto1\main.cpp(20) : error C2040: 'img' : 'IplImage *' differs in levels of indirection from 'Upp::Image'

Very interesting,

But I am a little confused. What library is better to use for 2d and 3d acceleration.

From practice can somebody tell what to recommend?

Hello Ion

I do not understand you. OpenCV is used for image processing.

You open images or real time video and process it, extracting the info you want.

It also accepts stereo images and lets you calibrate the camera and spatially position picture elements as in photogrametry.

From my question "2d and 3d acceleration" is a little confuse.

I mean that exist other libraries for image processing which uses gpu acceleration.

It is better to uses some optimized library than reinventing the wheel. In my example about reinventing the wheel was how to autolevel/autocorect an image.

And question:
From your experience what library is the recommended for use in image processing?

Hello Ion

OpenCV is recognized as the fastest. See for example this comparison taken from the "Learning OpenCV" book. The number of users is also very high.

Added:
However fastest is not always the best. In my case OpenCV camera calibration functions do not calibrate properly the cameras I use...

There is "gpu" subfolder in lib, but I didn't have the time to look into it yet. Some structures and routines are definetly already there. Can't say what they do though Smile

BTW, have another noob question, a bit offtopic though. When I include <opencv22/opencv2/opencv.hpp>, everything else is included recursively and builds fine, but not everything is found by Ctrl+Space, e.g. if I try to explore "cv" namespace, I try typing "cv::" and press Assist shortcut, but get nothing. By just pressing shortcut, I don't even see "cv" namespace in the list. Once again, why? Smile

It is quite simple Smile The parser in theide ignores namespaces completely. It is a tradeof to get the parsing faster. You should be able too see most of the methods (classes, variables, macros, etc...) by just skipping the namespace part. Unless the code is too cryptic, uses macros extensively, or something like that, that the parser chokes on, but that doesn't happen too often.

Don't quite understand. What do you mean "skipping the namespaces"?
Well, it seems that OpenCV C++ API is right that "too cryptic" case. Take, for example, cv::calibrateCamera method. I might use cvCalibrateCamera (OpenCV C API), but I, peronally, find such decisions inconsistent - I use C++ because I want to use it, not because I can use C syntax in it.

By "skipping namespaces" I meant just not typing them Smile E.g. type just calibrat and Assist should show calibrateCamera. It works as if there was always appropriate using namespace ... even when there isn't Smile

Ok, my bad... Now I actually looked at the package and it is all clear Smile Sorry for misleading you before.

The way the package is constructed, it uses libraries and include files from outside of U++. And Assist++ parser only reads the files that are present in the packages. That is another trade-off for speed, parsing all the system headers would be very slow.

Also, while I was looking at the pacakge, I fixed it to compile and link on Linux, but I get a lot of memory leaks. Looking at the valgrind output, it seems that most of them is associated with gtk functions. My guess is that the opencv windowing functions (like cvNamedWindow) are to be blamed. It would be probably better to find a way to export the images to Upp::Image and handle all the GUI using U++. I haven't time to do that so far though...

Best regards,
Honza

I'll look into ways to import/export later, for now I compile mainly in win32 with msvc10 - it's the main target platform FOR NOW anyway. But lacking assist is really annoying.

Well what do we have:
1. Assist++ works good dynamically in most cases.
2. Assist++ fails in some obscure cases which are much-much-more less frequent, but sometimes annoying as hell.

My point is...:
3. Why not have an additional functionality for packages in form of Assist++ hinting dictionaries?
Make it so that package maintainers might make such dictionaries (say, "func prototype"/"header"[-"string#"][/"src"[-"string#"]][/ "descr"]) and assist would attach 'em to its list once when package is attached and the rest of A++ would work dynamically like it does now.

I really don't know A++ internals and don't really understand all the problems following names parsing, but such function would be, to my mind, a decent tradeoff.

No problem. As I did not like OpenCV windowing system (HighGui) I included in OpenCV a U++ image window class and functions to convert images from/to U++ and OpenCV Smile.

Go to:
IplImage *ImageToCv(Image &img, bool iscolor = false);
Image CvToImage(IplImage *imgCV);
class ImageWindow;
