.. _Linux_Eclipse_Usage:
Using OpenCV with Eclipse (plugin CDT)
****************************************
.. note::
For me at least, this works, is simple and quick. Suggestions are welcome
Prerequisites
===============
#. Having installed `Eclipse <http://www.eclipse.org/>`_ in your workstation (only the CDT plugin for C/C++ is needed). You can follow the following steps:
* Go to the Eclipse site
* Download `Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers <http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/eclipse-ide-cc-developers/heliossr2>`_ . Choose the link according to your workstation.
#. Having installed OpenCV. If not yet, go :ref:`here <Linux_Installation>`
Making a project
=================
#. Start Eclipse. Just run the executable that comes in the folder.
#. Go to **File -> New -> C/C++ Project**
.. image:: images/Eclipse_Tutorial_Screenshot-0.png
:height: 400px
:alt: Eclipse Tutorial Screenshot 0
:align: center
#. Choose a name for your project (i.e. DisplayImage). An **Empty Project** should be okay for this example.
.. image:: images/Eclipse_Tutorial_Screenshot-1.png
:height: 400px
:alt: Eclipse Tutorial Screenshot 1
:align: center
#. Leave everything else by default. Press **Finish**.
.. image:: images/Eclipse_Tutorial_Screenshot-2.png
:height: 400px
:alt: Eclipse Tutorial Screenshot 2
:align: center
#. Your project (in this case DisplayImage) should appear in the **Project Navigator** (usually at the left side of your window).
.. image:: images/Eclipse_Tutorial_Screenshot-3.png
:height: 400px
:alt: Eclipse Tutorial Screenshot 3
:align: center
#. Now, let's add a source file using OpenCV:
* Right click on **DisplayImage** (in the Navigator). **New -> Folder** .
.. image:: images/Eclipse_Tutorial_Screenshot-4.png
:height: 400px
:alt: Eclipse Tutorial Screenshot 4
:align: center
* Name your folder **src** and then hit **Finish**
.. image:: images/Eclipse_Tutorial_Screenshot-5.png
:height: 400px
:alt: Eclipse Tutorial Screenshot 5
:align: center
* Right click on your newly created **src** folder. Choose **New source file**:
.. image:: images/Eclipse_Tutorial_Screenshot-6.png
:height: 400px
:alt: Eclipse Tutorial Screenshot 6
:align: center
* Call it **DisplayImage.cpp**. Hit **Finish**
.. image:: images/Eclipse_Tutorial_Screenshot-7.png
:height: 400px
:alt: Eclipse Tutorial Screenshot 7
:align: center
#. So, now you have a project with a empty .cpp file. Let's fill it with some sample code (in other words, copy and paste the snippet below):
.. code-block:: cpp
#include <cv.h>
#include <highgui.h>
using namespace cv;
int main( int argc, char** argv )
{
Mat image;
image = imread( argv[1], 1 );
if( argc != 2 || !image.data )
{
printf( "No image data \n" );
return -1;
}
namedWindow( "Display Image", CV_WINDOW_AUTOSIZE );
imshow( "Display Image", image );
waitKey(0);
return 0;
}
#. We are only missing one final step: To tell OpenCV where the OpenCV headers and libraries are. For this, do the following:
*
Go to **Project-->Properties**
.. image:: images/Eclipse_Tutorial_Screenshot-8.png
:height: 400px
:alt: Eclipse Tutorial Screenshot 8
:align: center
*
In **C/C++ Build**, click on **Settings**. At the right, choose the **Tool Settings** Tab. Here we will enter the headers and libraries info:
a.
In **GCC C++ Compiler**, go to **Includes**. In **Include paths(-l)** you should include the path of the folder where opencv was installed. In our example, this is ``/usr/local/include/opencv``.
.. image:: images/Eclipse_Tutorial_Screenshot-9.png
:height: 400px
:alt: Eclipse Tutorial Screenshot 9
:align: center
.. note::
If you do not know where your opencv files are, open the **Terminal** and type:
.. code-block:: bash
pkg-config --cflags opencv
For instance, that command gave me this output:
.. code-block:: bash
-I/usr/local/include/opencv -I/usr/local/include
b.
Now go to **GCC C++ Linker**,there you have to fill two spaces:
* In **Library search path (-L)** you have to write the path to where the opencv libraries reside, in my case the path is:
::
/usr/local/lib
..
*
In **Libraries(-l)** add the OpenCV libraries that you may need. Usually just the 3 first on the list below are enough (for simple applications) . In my case, I am putting all of them since I plan to use the whole bunch:
* opencv_core
* opencv_imgproc
* opencv_highgui
* opencv_ml
* opencv_video
* opencv_features2d
* opencv_calib3d
* opencv_objdetect
* opencv_contrib
* opencv_legacy
* opencv_flann
.. image:: images/Eclipse_Tutorial_Screenshot-10.png
:height: 400px
:alt: Eclipse Tutorial Screenshot 10
:align: center
.. note::
If you don't know where your libraries are (or you are just psychotic and want to make sure the path is fine), type in **Terminal**:
.. code-block:: bash
pkg-config --libs opencv
My output (in case you want to check) was:
.. code-block:: bash
-L/usr/local/lib -lopencv_core -lopencv_imgproc -lopencv_highgui -lopencv_ml -lopencv_video -lopencv_features2d -lopencv_calib3d -lopencv_objdetect -lopencv_contrib -lopencv_legacy -lopencv_flann
Now you are done. Click **OK**
* Your project should be ready to be built. For this, go to **Project->Build all**
.. image:: images/Eclipse_Tutorial_Screenshot-11.png
:height: 400px
:alt: Eclipse Tutorial Screenshot 11
:align: center
In the Console you should get something like
.. image:: images/Eclipse_Tutorial_Screenshot-12.png
:height: 200px
:alt: Eclipse Tutorial Screenshot 12
:align: center
If you check in your folder, there should be an executable there.
Running the executable
========================
So, now we have an executable ready to run. If we were to use the Terminal, we would probably do something like:
.. code-block:: bash
cd <DisplayImage_directory>
cd src
./DisplayImage ../images/HappyLittleFish.jpg
Assuming that the image to use as the argument would be located in <DisplayImage_directory>/images/HappyLittleFish.jpg. We can still do this, but let's do it from Eclipse:
#. Go to **Run->Run Configurations**
.. image:: images/Eclipse_Tutorial_Screenshot-13.png
:height: 300px
:alt: Eclipse Tutorial Screenshot 13
:align: center
#. Under C/C++ Application you will see the name of your executable + Debug (if not, click over C/C++ Application a couple of times). Select the name (in this case **DisplayImage Debug**).
#. Now, in the right side of the window, choose the **Arguments** Tab. Write the path of the image file we want to open (path relative to the workspace/DisplayImage folder). Let's use **HappyLittleFish.jpg**:
.. image:: images/Eclipse_Tutorial_Screenshot-14.png
:height: 300px
:alt: Eclipse Tutorial Screenshot 14
:align: center
#. Click on the **Apply** button and then in Run. An OpenCV window should pop up with the fish image (or whatever you used).

#. Congratulations! You are ready to have fun with OpenCV using Eclipse.
