## OpenCV for Processing

**A Processing library for the [OpenCV](http://opencv.org/) computer vision library.**

#### Why a new fork?
This fork has been created to support more recent OpenCV versions (4.0<) for Processing and also more platforms (ARM & ARMHF).

#### Content

OpenCV for Processing is based on OpenCV's official Java bindings. It attempts to provide convenient wrappers for common OpenCV functions that are friendly to beginners and feel familiar to the Processing environment.

See the included examples below for an overview of what's possible and links to the relevant example code. Complete documentation is available here:

**[OpenCV for Processing reference](http://atduskgreg.github.io/opencv-processing/reference/)**

OpenCV for Processing is based on the officially supported [OpenCV Java API](http://docs.opencv.org/java/), currently at version `4.9.0`. In addition to using the wrapped functionality, you can import OpenCV modules and use any of its documented functions: [OpenCV javadocs](http://docs.opencv.org/java/). See the advanced examples (HistogramSkinDetection, DepthFromStereo, and Marker Detection) below for details. (This style of API was inspired by Kyle McDonald's [ofxCv addon](https://github.com/kylemcdonald/ofxCv) for OpenFrameworks.)

Contributions welcome.

### Build
- Install JDK 8 (because of Processing) (JDK 11 for Processing 4)

Run gradle to build a new release package under `/release/opencv-processing.zip`:

```bash
# windows
gradlew.bat releaseProcessingLib

# mac / unix
./gradlew releaseProcessingLib
```

#### Platform Specific
To build only on a specific platform use the property `javacppPlatform`:

```bash
# builds with support for all platforms
gradlew.bat releaseProcessingLib -PjavacppPlatform=linux-x86_64,macosx-x86_64,macosx-arm64,windows-x86_64,linux-armhf,linux-arm64
```

#### Build Options

- `-Pdisable-fatjar` - Disable fat jar building (all dependencies as separate files)
- `-Pbare` - Do not include dependencies (opencv, openblas). This allows other libraries to provide the opencv implementation.

### Installing

OpenCV for Processing currently supports Mac OSX, 32-bit and 64-bit Windows, 32- and 64-bit Linux. Android support is hopefully coming soon (pull requests welcome).

_NB: When running on the Mac, make sure you have Processing set to 64-bit mode in the Preferences_

See [here](https://github.com/cansik/opencv-processing/releases) for the latest release.

### Examples

#### LiveCamTest

Access a live camera and do image processing on the result, specifically face detection.

Code: [LiveCamTest.pde](https://github.com/atduskgreg/opencv-processing/blob/master/examples/LiveCamTest/LiveCamTest.pde)

_Note: There's a bug that prevents live camera access in current versions of Processing 2.0 on machines with a Retina display._

#### FaceDetection

Detect faces in images.

#### FindContours

Find contours in images and calculate polygon approximations of the contours (i.e., the closest straight line that fits the contour).

contours with polygon approximations

Code: [FindContours.pde](https://github.com/atduskgreg/opencv-processing/blob/master/examples/FindContours/FindContours.pde)

#### FindEdges

Three different edge-detection techniques: Canny, Scharr, and Sobel.

#### FindLines

Find straight lines in the image using Hough line detection.

Hough line detection

Code: [HoughLineDetection.pde](https://github.com/atduskgreg/opencv-processing/blob/master/examples/HoughLineDetection/HoughLineDetection.pde)

#### BrightestPoint

Find the brightest point in an image.

Code: [BrightestPoint.pde](https://github.com/atduskgreg/opencv-processing/blob/master/examples/BrightestPoint/BrightestPoint.pde)

#### RegionOfInterest

Assign a sub-section (or Region of Interest) of the image to be processed. Video of this example in action here: [Region of Interest demo on Vimeo](https://vimeo.com/69009345).

#### ImageDiff

Find the difference between two images in order to subtract the background or detect a new object in a scene.

#### DilationAndErosion

Thin (erode) and expand (dilate) an image in order to close holes. These are known as "morphological" operations.
