BeagleBone Black getting started on OpenCV

Hi, My name is Jonathan Potes.

In this link http://beagleboneblack-opencv.blogspot.com/, I am going to explain about installing OpenCV on BeagleBone Black. I am going to show basic projects and examples about Image processing in OpenCV running on BBB.

Looking forward to the examples. Just wondering if these will work with Ubuntu or Debian distributions?

Thanks!

the examples can work with ubuntu and Debian, the problem is install Opencv in these distributions.

if you are working in BBB, I just wrote a note about installing a remote desktop.

Problem?
sudo apt-get install libcv-dev

it's also nice to have the python bindings.. "python-opencv"

Regards,

Nice thanks you, I work Angstrom Distributios on BBB.

All Examples will be writting and compiler on Angstrom, I think you don’t have any problem with compiler them on others distributions.

In beaglebone black(Angstrom Distributios) , OPENCV library is pre instilled or not.

OpenCV library is not pre installed on Angstrom. in this link http://beagleboneblack-opencv.blogspot.com/ you can see how install it.

The blog does not exist. Please post other link.

sorry !!!

You might also want to add to your instructions to install the openCV examples
opkg install opencv-apps

If you are new to openCV these will be helpful.

Sorry, seems I’ve confused different openCV packing.

opkg install opencv-doc

gets the example code,

opkg install opencv-apps

seems to get the xml files for the Haar cascade.

I WANT TO KNOW ABOUT HOW TO LOAD PROGRAM BUILD ON OPEN CV GCC ON WINDOWS TO BEAGLEBONE BLAACK WITH ARMSTRONG?

Hi, you cant use your normal compiler, you need to set up your environment with a cross toolchain, also cross compile opencv and then cross compile your apps using your cross tolchain and indicate where your cross compiled opencv and other libs are.

If you have your enviroment correctly set you may try to check if you correctly can cross compile a hellow world before going with something more difficult. If everything go ok then you can doing more complex things like an app using special libraries, this involve set the header and linking references.

If you dont know or dont want to this fun stuff, then you can go the easy and less fun way, download the enviroment on your board and compile it directly on your board (host compilation)
