Didn't I just say the exact same thing..........

Do you mean, I can delete the release folder that I made? OR Can I downlaod the opencv folder as well?

@berak It already worked now, Can you please help to explain:

• why I can't download from sourceforge? I'm pretty sure I saw LINUX in the sourceforge package

• Can I put the CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX to other director instead of /usr/local?

@berak I don't understan what "this" "it" refers to in you sentence

@berak so you're saying that I can erase the opencv folder in my HOME directory?

@berak In the installation insturction page, it says "Create a temporary directory which we denote as <cmake_binary_dir> (let's say release), where you want to put the generated Makefiles, project files as well the object files and output binaries."

I create it inside the folder that I cloned?

Later when I make my own project/ code, do I put it inside the release folder??

@berak I already followed the installation tutorial for Linux. I thought it did it

@berak Can you suggest which instruction should I follow to build opencv libs and install opencv?

During the installation. I did cmake -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RELEASE -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=path to my release folder

^ This one i put it into path to my release folder because I don't know where to set to, and according to OpenCV by example book, it is so. Should I set it to /usr/local instead?

During the displayimage.cpp tutorial , I did cmake .

I just followed the tutorial @berak

Hi @berak , do you mean during installation tutorial OR during the displayimage.cpp tutorial?

Hi @berak I now try opencv3.1 and followed the tutorials using gcc but another error appear. I posted a new question here .

Appreciate if you can help :)

I'm new to opencv.

I followed the installation instruction for LINUX . I chose to install from the page on SourceForge. (SO NOW I have opencv-3.1.0 in my HOME directory) I continued all the steps in the instruction.

When executing cmake I put CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX= the directory of my "release" folder.

Then I moved on to the next tutorial on "Using OpenCV with gcc and cmake"

BUT when cmake . I got ERROR:

CMake Warning at /home/osboxes/opencv-3.1.0/cmake/OpenCVConfig.cmake:166 (message):

  Found OpenCV Windows Pack but it has no binaries compatible with your
  configuration.

  You should manually point CMake variable OpenCV_DIR to your build of OpenCV
  library.
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  CMakeLists.txt:3 (find_package)
AND SO ON....

1. I use LINUX, and pretty sure I donwloaded the opencv for linux. So why it says windows pack?
2. The tutorial doesn't tell me where to put DIsplayImage.cpp and CMakeLists.txt I make a new folder called OpenCVTutorial in my home, and put them inside, on in the same directory.. Is that okay?
3. How to fix it?

I am new to opencv, and learning from "opencv by example" book.

I finished the installation and wanted to run an example : opencv_version.cpp as suggested. In the book it said I need to run this:

g++ -ggdb 'pkg-config --cflags --libs opencv3' opencv_version.cpp -o /tmp/opencv_version && /tmp/opencv_version

but afterward I got error saying that pkg-config ... is not found. After googling, apparently the problem is , I should use ` insetad of '

SO then I ran

g++ -ggdb `pkg-config --cflags --libs opencv3` opencv_version.cpp -o /tmp/opencv_version && /tmp/opencv_version

Yes It started compiling , but I got the following error:

/tmp/ccLwWorD.o: In function `main':
/home/osboxes/opencv-3.0.0/samples/cpp/opencv_version.cpp:12: undefined reference to `cv::CommandLineParser::CommandLineParser(int, char const* const*, cv::String const&)'
/home/osboxes/opencv-3.0.0/samples/cpp/opencv_version.cpp:14: undefined reference to `cv::CommandLineParser::has(cv::String const&) const'
AND SO ON

which in short is undefined reference to commandlineparser.

Here is some snapshot of the source code:

#include <opencv2/core/utility.hpp>
//some code here
cv::CommandLineParser parser(argc, argv, keys); //line 12

1. Can anyone help me to fix the error?
2. What does 'pkg-config --cflags --libs opencv3' do? what's its role?
3. (ANSWERED, see edit)What does -ggdb in the g++ command mean/do? I googled it but couldn't find it?

----------EDIT

I found out the -ggdb part already :

Options starting with -g, -f, -m, -O, -W, or --param are automatically passed on to the various sub-processes invoked by g++.

So It meant to used gdb: which is a debugger

@BenNG I edited my answer. I believe it is clear now

Maybe you can manually set the region on the corner& border in the resulting image to black.

e.g.

image[0:r, 0:w] = 0

Do it 4 times: for upper ,lower, right, and left borders. That way, you kind of eliminate things at the border, and focus on the middle.

EDIT :

Set the region to black = Turn the pixels to black..... using image[0:r, 0:w] = 0

The setting region depends on the size of your picture. e.g. your picture has 300 rows and 500 columns.

Now , you want to eliminate the upper border. e.g.

image[0:20,0:500]=0

It will set all pixels from (row 0 to row 20, and col 0 to col 500 into black) -> which is the upper border to black, hence "eliminates" the upper border.

Note that the 20 is again depend on your picture's size, till where you want to eliminate. Be careful on this number, so that you do not eliminate the number too.

Do this for the left, right, bottom border too! And at the end , you will have eliminate all the white colors except the number itself.

Please refer to this documentation

Let me quote from it:

Python: cv2.correctMatches(F, points1, points2[, newPoints1[, newPoints2]]) → newPoints1, newPoints2

Parameters: 
F – 3x3 fundamental matrix.
points1 – **1xN array** containing the first set of points.
points2 – **1xN array** containing the second set of points.
newPoints1 – The optimized points1.
newPoints2 – The optimized points2.

I thnk the cause of the error is pretty clear "The point-matrices must have one row, and an equal number of columns in function cvCorrectMatches"

Can you check/print the size of good_old and good_new? they both must have each one row, and equal number of cols to be passed to correctmatches

So let's say for bitwise operation between 2 RGB images. We do the operation on 3 channels, red with red, g with g ,b with b.

For every channel, e.g. red, let's say we have 130 and 120 , then we convert 130 ,120 into binary, and do bitwise_and operation on the two binary numbers resulting to a binary number. We convert back into decimal, resulting to the R value of the final image. Is that right?

Lastly I don't understand the piece of code you wrote. "bitwise_not(mask, mask);"-> what is it for? and it's not saved to any variable or used later as well...

Please help to clarify. Thank you

Hi, thanks for the answer. But I don't rlly understand your answer.

"They are doing something strange" -> which one? "do use one of the inputs as binary"-> you mean normally one of the input in bitwise_and operation is binary, what about the other input?

" For an RGB image, your binary image would be 3 channels, with 255 being ON, and 0 being OFF" -> what about the number between 0 and 255 ?

"Perhaps make all the values even by doing a binary_and on a value with only the last bit unset" -> i don't understand this

"Where the mask is empty, the result in the output is unchanged from what is THERE before" -> there is referring to what? source1, source2 , or what? cause masked is a new variable that we're going to fill with the result of the operation.

Can you copy the error message and your code?

Hi all, I'm new to openCV. I'm a bit confused about bitwise operation. Appreciate if you can help me to clarify some things.

1. Bitwise operation is for binary image only? cause from the (admittedly limited) code that I've seen, it doesn't seem so. I don't get how AND OR ,etc operation to be applied to non binary ? please explain on this

2. I read this documentation on bitwise_and.

   dst(I)=src1(I)∧src2(I)if mask(I)≠0

What I understand is that : the result is equal to src1 & src2 , if the mask for that element is not zero. My question is that if mask for that element is zero, what is result equal to? is it equal to the element in src1 or src2?

----.

Lastly, please help me to understand the following code from ROS

image = self.bridge.imgmsg_to_cv2(msg) [0]
hsv = cv2.cvtColor(image, cv2.COLOR_BGR2HSV) [1]
lower_yellow = numpy.array([ 50,  50, 170]) [2]
upper_yellow = numpy.array([255, 255, 190]) [3]
mask = cv2.inRange(hsv, lower_yellow, upper_yellow) [4]
masked = cv2.bitwise_and(image, image, mask=mask) [5]

[0] This line is just to convertimage from ROS image format to openCV image format. Shortly image is a RGB image.

[1] convert image form RGB to HSV

[2] set the lower limit for yellow color

[3] set the upper limit for yellow color

[4] producing a binary image : the element that is in the range of lower_yellow and upper_yellow gives 1, and the rest give 0. So mask is a binary image, with the section that qualify as yelloq =1 , and 0 for the rest.

[5] I don't really understand this part. We do bitwise_and operation on image & with itself? What for? Also, image is RGB ,not binary, how to operate AND on RGB? Please explain

Thanks
