ArcGIS Runtime SDK for Java AND OpenCV

MohammdrezaFaraji — Wed, 02 Dec 2015 19:37:28 GMT

I just started using ArcGIS SDK for Java. I would like to use opencv library in my projects. I can add the library when I create an ArcGIS Runtime application project, but my eclipse does not reconigze the library later in my codes. Does that mean ArcGIS does not support opencv or I am missing something?

Not necessarily.

While it is true that ArcGIS Runtime APIs know nothing about OpenCV libraries, a lot depends on what your code is actually trying to do. Can you share a bit more about the problem? How is OpenCV being used in your Java application? How have you configured your Eclipse environment with OpenCV?

Eric,
Thanks for the reply. Yes, my Eclipse works fine with OpenCV. This link (http://docs.opencv.org/2.4/doc/tutorials/introduction/java_eclipse/java_eclipse.html) explains how to setup OpenCV in Eclipse. When I create a java application, it recognizes openCV library, but when I create an ArcGIS SDK application, it doesn't.
I like to use opencv for its computer vision functions and tools.
It provides function to detect/extract/match features in images and affine/projective tranformation (which I need to use).

In Eclipse, is the opencv library, which is reference by your Eclipse project, being exported when your app is created?

Interesting! I remember I did this, but apparently it's not been correctly added.
I just created a new project and OpenCV successfully got added. Hopefully it won't make any problem later.
Thanks Eric!
