EDIT: I published a new guide using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and OpenCV 2.4.10 here.
The latest Long Term Support version of Ubuntu(12.04 LTS) is out and a new version of OpenCV was released as well. This means that now is a great opportunity to update my OpenCV installation guide to the latest versions, Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and OpenCV 2.4.10.
We are going to setup OpenCV to use the new Qt highgui interface, which is much better than the simple highgui interface. Also, we will install OpenCV with support for OpenGL, as well as reading and writing videos, access to a webcam, Python, C and C++ interfaces, and Intel Threading Building Blocks (TBB).
OK, so the first step is to make sure that everything in the system is updated and upgraded:
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade
Now, you need to install many dependencies, such as support for reading and writing image files, drawing on the screen, some needed tools, etc… This step is very easy, you only need to write the following command in the Terminal:
sudo apt-get install build-essential libgtk2.0-dev libjpeg-dev libtiff5-dev libjasper-dev libopenexr-dev cmake python-dev python-numpy python-tk libtbb-dev libeigen2-dev yasm libfaac-dev libopencore-amrnb-dev libopencore-amrwb-dev libtheora-dev libvorbis-dev libxvidcore-dev libx264-dev libqt4-dev libqt4-opengl-dev sphinx-common texlive-latex-extra libtiff5-dev libdc1394-22-dev libavcodec-dev libavformat-dev libswscale-dev
download opencv2.4.10
tar -xjvf opencv-2.4.10.tar.bz2 cd opencv-2.4.10
Now we have to generate the Makefile by using cmake. In here we can define which parts of OpenCV we want to compile. Since we want to use Python, TBB, OpenGL, Qt, work with videos, etc, here is where we need to set that. Just execute the following line at the terminal to create the appropriate Makefile. Note that there are two dots at the end of the line, it is an argument for the cmake program and it means the parent directory (because we are inside the build directory, and we want to refer to the OpenCV directory, which is its parent).
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -D WITH_TBB=ON -D BUILD_NEW_PYTHON_SUPPORT=ON -D WITH_V4L=ON -D INSTALL_C_EXAMPLES=ON -D INSTALL_PYTHON_EXAMPLES=ON -D BUILD_EXAMPLES=ON -D WITH_QT=ON -D WITH_OPENGL=ON -D WITH_FFMPEG=OFF ..
Check that the above command produces no error and that in particular it reports FFMPEG as YES. If this is not the case you will not be able to read or write videos. Also, check that Python, TBB, OpenGL, V4L, OpenGL and Qt are detected.
If anything is wrong, go back, correct the errors by maybe installing extra packages and then run cmake again. You should see something similar to this:
Now, you are ready to compile and install OpenCV 2.4.10:
make
sudo make install
Now you have to configure OpenCV. First, open the opencv.conf file with the following code:
sudo gedit /etc/ld.so.conf.d/opencv.conf
Add the following line at the end of the file(it may be an empty file, that is ok) and then save it:
/usr/local/lib
Run the following code to configure the library:
sudo ldconfig
Now you have to open another file:
sudo gedit /etc/bash.bashrc
Add these two lines at the end of the file and save it:
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH
Finally, close the console and open a new one, restart the computer or logout and then login again.
Now let’s build some samples included in OpenCV:
cd ~/opencv-2.4.10/samples/c chmod +x build_all.sh ./build_all.sh
./facedetect --cascade="/usr/local/share/OpenCV/haarcascades/haarcascade_frontalface_alt.xml" --scale=1.5 lena.jpg
./facedetect --cascade="/usr/local/share/OpenCV/haarcascades/haarcascade_frontalface_alt.xml" --nested-cascade="/usr/local/share/OpenCV/haarcascades/haarcascade_eye.xml" --scale=1.5 lena.jpg
