Web is the most ubiquitous open computing platform. With HTML5 standards implemented in every browser, web applications are able to render online video with HTML5 video tags, capture webcam video via WebRTC API, and access each pixel of a video frame via canvas API. With abundance of available multimedia content, web developers are in need of a wide array of image and vision processing algorithms in JavaScript to build innovative applications. This requirement is even more essential for emerging applications on the web, such as Web Virtual Reality (WebVR) and Augmented Reality (WebAR). All of these use cases demand efficient implementations of computation-intensive vision kernels on web.
[Emscripten](http://kripken.github.io/emscripten-site) is an LLVM-to-JavaScript compiler. It takes LLVM bitcode - which can be generated from C/C++ using clang, and compiles that into asm.js or WebAssembly that can execute directly inside the web browsers. . Asm.js is a highly optimizable, low-level subset of JavaScript. Asm.js enables ahead-of-time compilation and optimization in JavaScript engine that provide near-to-native execution speed. WebAssembly is a new portable, size- and load-time-efficient binary format suitable for compilation to the web. WebAssembly aims to execute at native speed. WebAssembly is currently being designed as an open standard by W3C.

OpenCV.js is a JavaScript binding for selected subset of OpenCV functions for the web platform. It allows emerging web applications with multimedia processing to benefit from the wide variety of vision functions available in OpenCV. OpenCV.js leverages Emscripten to compile OpenCV functions into asm.js or WebAssembly targets, and provides a JavaScript APIs for web application to access them. The future versions of the library will take advantage of acceleration APIs that are available on the Web such as SIMD and multi-threaded execution.

While this describes installation of required tools from scratch, there's a section below also describing an alternative procedure to perform the same build using docker containers which is often easier.
To Install Emscripten, follow instructions of [Emscripten SDK](https://kripken.github.io/emscripten-site/docs/getting_started/downloads.html).

To compile to [WebAssembly](http://webassembly.org), you need to install and activate [Binaryen](https://github.com/WebAssembly/binaryen) with the `emsdk` command. Please refer to [Developer's Guide](http://webassembly.org/getting-started/developers-guide/) for more details.
After install, ensure the `EMSCRIPTEN` environment is setup correctly.

So, make sure [docker](https://www.docker.com/) is installed in your system and running. The following shell script should work in linux and MacOS:

python <opencv_src_dir>/platforms/js/build_js.py <build_dir>
emcmake python <opencv_src_dir>/platforms/js/build_js.py <build_dir>
