Go OpenCV binding
==================
A Golang binding for [OpenCV](http://opencv.org/).
OpenCV 1.x C API bindings through CGO, and OpenCV 2+ C++ API ([`GoCV`](gocv/)) through SWIG.
[**DISCLAIMER**](https://github.com/lazywei/go-opencv#disclaimer)
## Install
### Linux & Mac OS X
Install Go and OpenCV, you might want to install both of them via `apt-get` or `homebrew`.
```
go get github.com/lazywei/go-opencv
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/lazywei/go-opencv/samples
go run hellocv.go
```
### Windows
- Install Go and MinGw
- install OpenCV-2.4.x to MinGW dir
```
# libopencv*.dll --> ${MinGWRoot}\bin
# libopencv*.lib --> ${MinGWRoot}\lib
# include\opencv --> ${MinGWRoot}\include\opencv
# include\opencv2 --> ${MinGWRoot}\include\opencv2
go get github.com/lazywei/go-opencv
cd ${GoOpenCVRoot}/trunk/samples && go run hellocv.go
```
## [WIP] OpenCV2 (GoCV)
After OpenCV 2.x+, the core team no longer develop and maintain C API. Therefore, CGO will not be used in CV2 binding. Instead, we are using SWIG for wrapping. The support for OpenCV2 is currently under development, and whole code will be placed under `gocv` package.
If you want to use CV2's API, please refer to the code under `gocv/` directory. There is no too many documents for CV2 wrapper yet, but you can still find the example usages in `*_test.go`.
Please also note that the basic data structures in OpenCV (e.g., `cv::Mat`, `cv::Point3f`) are wrapped partially for now. For more detail on how to use these types, please refer to [GoCV's README](gocv/README.md).
## Example
### OpenCV2's initCameraMatrix2D
```go
package main
import . "github.com/lazywei/go-opencv/gocv"
import "github.com/gonum/matrix/mat64"
func main() {
objPts := mat64.NewDense(4, 3, []float64{
0, 25, 0,
0, -25, 0,
-47, 25, 0,
-47, -25, 0})
imgPts := mat64.NewDense(4, 2, []float64{
1136.4140625, 1041.89208984,
1845.33190918, 671.39581299,
302.73373413, 634.79998779,
1051.46154785, 352.76107788})
camMat := GcvInitCameraMatrix2D(objPts, imgPts)
fmt.Println(camMat)
}
```
### Resizing
```go
package main
import opencv "github.com/lazywei/go-opencv/opencv"
func main() {
filename := "bert.jpg"
srcImg := opencv.LoadImage(filename)
if srcImg == nil {
panic("Loading Image failed")
}
defer srcImg.Release()
resized1 := opencv.Resize(srcImg, 400, 0, 0)
resized2 := opencv.Resize(srcImg, 300, 500, 0)
resized3 := opencv.Resize(srcImg, 300, 500, 2)
opencv.SaveImage("resized1.jpg", resized1, 0)
opencv.SaveImage("resized2.jpg", resized2, 0)
opencv.SaveImage("resized3.jpg", resized3, 0)
}
```
### Webcam
Yet another cool example is created by @saratovsource which demos how to use webcam:
```
cd samples
go run webcam.go
```

## Disclaimer
This is a fork of [chai's go-opencv](https://github.com/chai2010/opencv), which has only OpenCV1 support through CGO. At the time of the fork (Dec 9, 2013) the original project was inactive, and hence I decide to host a fork on Github so people can contribute to this project easily. However, now it seems to be active again starting from Aug 25, 2014. Efforts to merge the two projects are very welcome.
