OpenCV - Matlab bindings are not working

edit

Hi, I submitted the patch. There is also a separate bug with the cv.m file. If you open up the m-file in MATLAB you will see two errors. For some reason the constants KAZE and AKAZE are not being assigned to anything and MATLAB doesn't like this. I just assign these constants to zero because I do not use any CV modules that need these constants. Java seems to have a similar problem with AKAZE: https://github.com/Itseez/opencv/pull/2822

I got the same error due to the fact that my mex files were missing. In order to get the mex files you need to compile the latest OpenCV from source. Make sure CMake does not give any errors. Then I compiled things with Visual Studio. This did not work due to Ptr_DenseOpticalFlow not being defined. Thus I had to implement a fix found here: https://github.com/Itseez/opencv/pull/2783.

Basically I had to add the following lines to 'OpenCV-build'\modules\matlab\src:

-53  #include <opencv2/video/tracking.hpp>
...
-80  typedef cv::Ptr<DenseOpticalFlow> Ptr_DenseOpticalFlow;
...
-458 // ---------------------------   Ptr_DenseOpticalFlow   -------------------
-459 Bridge& operator=(const Ptr_DenseOpticalFlow& ) { return *this; }
-460 Ptr_DenseOpticalFlow toPtrDenseOpticalFlow() { return Ptr_DenseOpticalFlow(); }
-461 operator Ptr_DenseOpticalFlow() { return toPtrDenseOpticalFlow(); }

Then I could compile the opencv_matlab module.

Note that this compilation took a long time to complete so be patient!

If all fails you could also try using pre-compiled mex files, found at the end of this post: http://seevisionc.blogspot.nl/2014/03/compiling-opencv-30-with-matlab-support.html

I had the same problem. In addition to making sure you are doing a release build, also double check that matlab has a compiler set up properly. In matlab type: mex -setup
