OpenCV Projects

This project contains my Computer Vinson Projects with OpenCV.

Building and Installation

1. Building the Image

There is docker file for this project that contains all dependencies and you build the image with :

docker build -t myopencv_image:latest .

2. Creating the container

Create a container where you mount the checkout code into your container:

docker run --name <continer-name> -v <checked-out-path-on-host>:<path-in-the-container> -it <docker-image-name>

for instance:

docker run --name myopencv_container -v /home/$USER/workspace/OpenCVProjects:/OpenCVProjects -it myopencv_image

3. Starting an existing container

If you have already created a container from the docker image, you can start it with:

docker start -i myopencv_container

4. Removing unnecessary images and containers

You can remove unnecessary images and containers by:

docker image prune -a

docker container prune

GUI application with docker

1. You need to run:

xhost +local:docker

and then:

docker run -v <path-on-host>:<path-in-the-container> -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix --name <container-name> -e DISPLAY=$DISPLAY -e QT_X11_NO_MITSHM=1 --network=host --privileged -it <image-name:tag> bash

How to build on your machine

configure it:

cmake -G "Ninja Multi-Config" -S . -B build -DOpenCV_DIR="/home/$USER/usr/lib/cmake/opencv4"

build it:

cmake --build build --config Release

or

cmake --build build --config Debug

or be more specific:

cmake --build build --target all --config Release

If you prefer preset use:

cmake --preset ninja-multi

and

cmake --build --preset ninja-multi-debug

or

cmake --build --preset ninja-multi-release

Installing OpenCV Python API

Install the conda packages:

unset PYTHONPATH
export PYTHONNOUSERSITE=1
conda create -n OpenCVProjects
conda activate OpenCVProjects
conda install conda-forge::opencv
conda install scipy numpy matplotlib scikit-image  
conda install -c conda-forge jupyterlab
conda install anaconda::ipywidgets

create softlinks:

cd $HOME/anaconda3/envs/OpenCVProjects/
ln -s $HOME/workspace/OpenCVProjects/scripts .
