Why do you need a gui for open cv?

Then how can i run my opencv program for face and eye detection on ubuntu 13.10 installed beagleboard-xm.For that is it needed to get desktop gui. What all things I have to do for running an opencv code as I have don “sudo apt-get install libopencv-dev”.

Hope you will find me solution for this.

Thanks & Regards,

You dont need desktop gui. I do these things headless. Simple X forwarding is enough, if you wish to see a graphic outcome. Having a desktop gui puts unnecessary load on the beagleboard’s already weak single core.

Sir, what it means X forwarding??? Also how i can see my beagleboard -xm is detecting face and eyes without desktop gui???
Is minicom setup enough for running opencv programs???
Please provide me answers for all this…As I am a beginner in Beagleboard.
Hope your valuable support regarding this.
