Help updating 10 lines of deprecated OpenCV code in C++ [closed]

asked 2020-07-26 17:37:11 -0600

I need help updating 10 deprecated (OpenCV 3.2.0) lines of code found in https://github.com/yirgagithub/Cat-and-Dog-SVM-classifier (their last commit was on Mar 1, 2017) to work with OpenCV 4 on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, because this is one of the few GitHub projects that uses C++ (NOT Python) to do image classification (in this case distinguising pictures of dogs and cats). I am taking a Udacity C++ online nanodegree courseand for their capstone project they suggest either making a computer game or creating an AI. I have decided to create an image classifier AI starting from https://github.com/yirgagithub/Cat-an... because that is the closest to what I might do when I get a job.

I understand that there are OpenCV courses (https://opencv.org/courses/) that if I spent weeks or months on I might figure this out on my own, but I have already taken several R Studio and Python (Spyder) AI online courses (that did not use OpenCV they used TensorFlow, etc.) so I do not want to spend time on more. I looked for C++ TensorFlow GitHub image classifier projects and that is not promising.

Below is my Fork of https://github.com/yirgagithub/Cat-and-Dog-SVM-classifier. The fork has the settings.json and launch.json in the .vscode directory and I updated some deprecated #include to their new locations in OpenCV 4. I ran cmake (below) and got stuck (errors) on the 12 deprecated elements:

cmake ..

cmake --build . --config Release

My Fork: https://github.com/ProfHariSeldon/CppND-Capstone-Hello-World

You can skip the Install Instructions and just look at DEPRICIATED: to see the code I need help with. I have confirmed that Visual Studio Code recognizes the OpenCV #include (I added that path "/home/tlroot/installation/OpenCV-master/include/opencv4/" to settings.json) and that cmake finds the OpenCV files too (I added that path "/home/tlroot/installation/OpenCV-master/" to CMakeLists.txt). I also don't really understand my CMakeLists.txt this is my first time building one from scratch. I got it working but if you have advice please let me know.

Download: https://github.com/spmallick/learnopencv/blob/master/InstallScripts/installOpenCV-4-on-Ubuntu-18-04.sh

building from Source in my home directory I guess that's OK

$ cd /home/tlroot

$ sudo chmod +x ./installOpenCV-4-on-Ubuntu-18-04.sh

$ sudo bash installOpenCV-4-on-Ubuntu-18-04.sh

$ cd /home/tlroot/installation

$ sudo ldconfig

$ cd /home/tlroot/C++/Capstone

$ git clone https://github.com/yirgagithub/Cat-an...

The CMakeLists.txt file to use

# see CMake Lists.txt file in /home/tlroot/Documents/C++/OOP/Project/CppND-System-Monitor

# https://www.learnopencv.com/install-o...

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.1)

# Enable C++11

set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 11)

set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD_REQUIRED TRUE)

I switched to the CNN you suggested and I have one little question about the CMakeLists.txt. How do I add the OpenCV library? I tried:

target_link_libraries( classifier ${OpenCV_LIBS} )

And that compiles fine but when I run ./classifier I get an error:

./classifier: error while loading shared libraries: libopencv_core.so.4.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

So then I direct linked:

target_link_libraries( classifier "/home/tlroot/installation/OpenCV-master/lib/" )

But then I got the "cmake .." error: WARNING: Target "classifier" requests linking to directory "/home/tlroot/installation/OpenCV-master/lib/". Targets may link only to libraries. CMake is dropping the item.

And cmake --build . --config Release couldn't find the OpenCV files in #include

you installed the opencv so's to a non standard directory, now they cannot be found at runtime

lookup how to use ldconfig to add the path

I can't find an ldconfig help forum so I have a quick question. I tried sudo ldconfig -n /home/tlroot/installation/OpenCV-master/lib and sudo ldconfig -n /home/tlroot/installation/OpenCV-master/include/opencv4 based on advice from https://linux.101hacks.com/unix/ldconfig/ and neither fixed the two errors. I could try sudo ldconfig -l I looked at the man page but I don't know which files to add. Just libopencv_core.so.4.4 or more? I tried to add include /home/tlroot/installation/OpenCV-master/lib/ and include /home/tlroot/installation/OpenCV-master/include/opencv4/ to ld.so.conf and do ldconfig and that didn't work

Hari Seldon ( 2020-07-28 13:15:09 -0600 )edit

OK I figured out ldconfig. The MAN page advice about adding to ld.so.conf did not work, but creating a file called opencv.conf in /etc/ld.so.conf.d/ and adding /home/tlroot/installation/OpenCV-master/lib/ to it got everything working. Thank you so much berak for telling me about cats.vs.dogs.cpp that was much easier to adapt than the code I found.
