Purpose
Expose opencv to the node environment.
Features
- cv::Point, cv::Size, cv::Rect, etc replaced by object notation:
Point -> {x: 0, y:0}, Size -> {width: 33, height: 33}
- Checks the types of parameters as well as ranges of values on each native call (harder to crash app from script)
- Friendly exception messages on invalid parameters
Example
See scripts/effects.coffee for a full demo.
Installation - MacOS X
$ brew install opencv --build32
$ npm install -g opencv-node
$ coffee scripts/tests
(tested with GCC 4.2.1 and node 0.8.0)
Installation - Windows
-
Download OpenCV from http://sourceforge.net/projects/opencvlibrary/files/latest/download
-
Extract it to a folder, eg C:\OpenCV
-
Open a Visual Studio command prompt and type
set OPENCV_ROOT=C:/OpenCV npm install -g opencv-node
(tested with Visual Studio 2010 and node 0.8.8)
API Differences
Some functions have a more js-friendly API/syntax. The void functions which return their output in an argument passed by reference, return the result directly:
cv::split returns an Array and takes only 1 argument
cv::HoughCircles returns an Array
cv::HoughLines returns an Array
cv::cornerSubPix returns an Array
* others?
