add: #include "opencv/cv.h" ?

also, it probably should be : "opencv/highgui.h", not just "highgui.h". did you omit an error here ?

13 errors like the below appears after adding these headers

Error 8 error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "public: virtual void __thiscall cv::HOGDescriptor::write(class cv::FileStorage &,class std::basic_string<char,struct std::char_traits<char>,class std::allocator<char> > const &)const " (?write@HOGDescriptor@cv@@UBEXAAVFileStorage@2@ABV?$basic_string@DU?$char_traits@D@std@@V?$allocator@D@2@@std@@@Z) C:\Users\Ayesha\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\abc\abc\abc.obj abc

believe it or not, that's progress ;)

your first errors were compiler errors, those now are linker errors.

you forgot to link some libraries, opencv_core246.lib, opencv_objdetect246.lib, opencv_highgui246.lib, opencv_imgproc246.lib. (all of them with a 'd' at the end for DEBUG build)

after editing .hpp ti .h gives this error

Error 1 error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'opencv2/imgproc/imgproc.h': No such file or directory c:\users\ayesha\documents\visual studio 2010\projects\abc\abc\Form1.h 3 1 abc

where i have to place 'd' ?

. Adding opencv_objdetect230.lib removed my errors . Thanks a lot. Thanks once again

oh, nice. you obviously solved the 'opencv2/imgproc/imgproc.hpp' problem on your own ;)

and it will be opencv_objdetect230d.lib for DEBUG.

Winforms is a bit different from the console applications. They do not allow you to use the include of the opencv namespace at the top of the header file, wich generates some rules you need to keep, before you can use opencv functionality inside the header.

Have you put cv:: in front of all of you openCV code? Without, the compiler will not know where to look for the cvLoadImage functionality.

Also if it is possible, switch to the C++ interface, since the C-interface is deprecated and will get removed.

Thanks it helps to solve my problem to some extent but not completely. I am using cv:: before opencv functions but it is giving error in both cases.

the old c-api does not live in the cv namespace

berak gravatar imageberak ( 2013-10-16 05:14:44 -0600 )edit

what is the solution? what should i do now?

zulfiqar gravatar imagezulfiqar ( 2013-10-16 05:16:21 -0600 )edit

You should remove old C - api and replace it by the C++ variant. For example, instead of using iplimages, use Mat elements. Same for cvLoadImage, replace that one by imread().
