Simplest way of installing OpenCV Tutorial follow this link. (For 32 bit OS)

Requirements-

1. OpenCVmod_64bit
2. Visual Studio 2010 / 2012
3. Windows 7 / 8

(Thanks to Hongbo Miao for this tutorial to install OpenCV 2.4.4 for Visual Studio 2012.)

Follow the steps carefully. Don't miss a single step and you are ON.

---

Step-1

Extract the zip file and store it in "C" drive. Now it should look like "C:/OpenCV/install/" ( Inside install folder bin, include and lib folder should be there) (This tutorial follow this path "C:/OpenCV/install/".)

Open Windows Explorer. Click on Computer and then System properties.

Choose Advanced system settings.

Click Environment Variables...

Add only this to Environment Variables -> System variables -> Path

C:\OpenCV\install\bin

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step-2

Create your own project in Visual Studio 2012.

Build menu -> Configuration Manager

Change the Active solution platform. Click on Win32, Select New.... Use the settings below and click OK.

---

Step-3

Create a new project without any source file.

View -> Property Manager

1. C/C++ -> General -> Additional Include Directories

C:\OpenCV\install\include\opencv

C:\OpenCV\install\include

1. Linker -> General -> Additional Library Directories

C:\OpenCV\install\lib

1. Linker -> Input -> Additional Dependencies

opencv_calib3d245d.lib

opencv_contrib245d.lib

opencv_core245d.lib

opencv_features2d245d.lib

opencv_flann245d.lib

opencv_gpu245d.lib

opencv_highgui245d.lib

opencv_imgproc245d.lib

opencv_legacy245d.lib

opencv_ml245d.lib

opencv_nonfree245d.lib

opencv_objdetect245d.lib

opencv_photo245d.lib

opencv_stitching245d.lib

opencv_ts245d.lib

opencv_video245d.lib

opencv_videostab245d.lib

Note the file names has extra "d" which means debug

                             and its over...

Now restart the system and run the below code for testing.

Sample code:

//Reading an image

#include "opencv2\core\core.hpp"
#include "opencv2\highgui\highgui.hpp"
#include "cv.h"
#include "highgui.h"

using namespace std;

using namespace cv;

void main()

{

Mat image = imread("00.jpg"); //Give the full path to the image file

namedWindow("mywin");

imshow("mywin", image);

waitKey(0);

}

Sample code:

//Playing Video

#include "cv.h" 

#include "opencv2\core\core.hpp"
#include "opencv2\highgui\highgui.hpp"

#include "highgui.h" 

using namespace cv;

int main() 

{ 

// Open the video file

VideoCapture capture("asmall.avi"); //Give the full path for the video file

// check if video successfully opened

if (!capture.isOpened())

return 1;

// Get the frame rate

bool stop(false);

Mat frame; // current video frame

namedWindow("Extracted Frame");

// Delay between each frame in ms

// corresponds to video frame rate

// for all frames in video

while (!stop) {

// read next frame if any 

if (!capture.read(frame))

break;

imshow("Extracted Frame",frame);

// introduce a delay in mili-second

waitKey(50);

}

// Close the video file.

// Not required since called by destructor

capture.release();

return 0; 

}

[Solved] How to control Axis PTZ camera through MATLAB

We have a couple of Axis camera installed in our Computer Vision Lab. I always wonder, how to control the PTZ camera using MATLAB. Now I got the answer of the question. It was so simple, but it needs a lot of searching "My dear Friend Google ". It took me 1yr. to complete this re-search. Finally I got the answer. I don't want others to suffer like me, so I am posting the method to control the PTZ parameter of Axis camera.

Without wasting so much time lets come to MATLAB code.

Note:
1. Please replace IP address in the codes, by your own camera IP address otherwise the code will not work.
2. The method described above is only for educational purpose and is verified using Axis 214 PTZ Camera.
3. Comment below if any problem.
4. Please feel free to post any Matlab codes you have regarding Axis camera to the following File Drop Mediafire link.
5. Direct access too my AxisCamera mediafire folder.
