Why were cmake options invalid? How can I disable OpenCL, IPP and enable CV_SIMD?

I was working on Canny Edge Detector. After reading the source code, I felt like the edge detector could work in one way among IPP/OPENCL/OPENVX/CV_SIMD(which uses, TBB, I think)/the most traditional and slowest way(to work on pixels one by one). However, I only wanted it parallelCanny with CV_SIMD defined to work.

I tried to call canny function and use "std::cout << cv::getBuildInformation() << std::endl;" to see the libraries being used in the process. Then, I wrote a short CMakeLists.txt file in this way:

# project name
PROJECT(opencv_test)
# requirement of cmake version
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.9)
add_compile_options(-std=c++17)

# find required opencv
find_package(OpenCV REQUIRED)

# name of executable file and path of source file
add_executable(opencv_test main.cpp)

# opencv libraries
target_link_libraries(opencv_test ${OpenCV_LIBS})

After that, I ran the program with the following command in order:

cmake -D WITH_OPENCL=OFF -D WITH_IPP=OFF -D WITH_TBB=OFF -D WITH_OPENMP=ON .
make
opencv_test

Only to be told that:

 CMake Warning:
  Manually-specified variables were not used by the project:
    WITH_IPP
    WITH_OPENCL
    WITH_OPENMP
    WITH_TBB

Then, after my program ran, the line of code

 std::cout << cv::getBuildInformation() << std::endl;

printed out exactly the same things as I ran cmake command without any options as follows (I also wrote another function to check if CV_SIMD is enabled):

WITH_OPENCL

all those flags only apply when building the opencv libs, not when building your program

(you need to rebuild the libs with the flags of your choice)

however, you also can

 cv::ocl::setUseOpenCL(false);

in your main() to disable opencl at runtime

Thanks for answering!

May I ask what you mean by "building the opencv libs"? I thought the library of opencv was fixed once I installed it and which part of the library to use should only be dependent on the files included at the beginning of my program... If so, what's the meaning of adding those flags? To specify particular lib files of opencv to be used when my program runs?

And is there a possible way to disable some of those (such as OPENCL and IPP) and enable CV_SIMD only when my program runs?

Thank you very much for your patience!

once I installed it

it sounds like you use something prebuilt , meaning it has the capabilities (e.g avx) from the machine it was built on, not yours.

if you need more fine graded control, you have to build the opencv libs from src (github) using cmake. then you can apply all those flags, and cmake can explore your local SSE capabilities

I see...Thanks a lot! I will have a try later.

But another thing is, the same problem still happens: when I typed

cv::ocl::setUseOpenCL(false);
std::cout << cv::getBuildInformation() << std::endl;

I still got the same result as before:

OpenCL:                        YES (no extra features)
Include path:                NO
Link libraries:              -framework OpenCL

Doesn't it mean openCL is still used and my code "cv::ocl::setUseOpenCL(false);" is invalid?

the information from cv::getBuildInformation() is fixed, baked in,

cv::ocl::setUseOpenCL(false); sets a runtime flag, you can check it whith cv::ocl::useOpenCL();
