Step 1:<\/p>\n

Download\u00a0OpenCV-2.3.0-win-superpack.exe\u00a0from\u00a0http:\/\/sourceforge.net\/projects\/opencvlibrary\/files\/opencv-win\/2.3\/<\/a><\/p>\n

Run\u00a0OpenCV-2.3.0-win-superpack.exe and copy the generated folder\u00a0OpenCV2.3 to C drive<\/p>\n

Step 2:<\/p>\n

Open Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 and click\u00a0Tools->Options<\/em><\/p>\n

\"alt\"<\/p>\n

Select\u00a0Projects and Solutions<\/em>\u00a0and then\u00a0VC++ Directories<\/em>. Select\u00a0Include files<\/em>\u00a0in Show directories for: drop down menu. Add the following paths.<\/p>\n

C:\\OpenCV2.3\\opencv\\include\\opencv<\/p>\n

C:\\OpenCV2.3\\build\\include<\/p>\n

\"alt\"<\/p>\n

Select\u00a0Library files<\/em>\u00a0in Show directories for: drop down menu. Add the following path.<\/p>\n

C:\\OpenCV2.3\\build\\x86\\vc9\\lib<\/p>\n

Now we have added include and library file paths and this need to be done only for the first time.<\/p>\n

Step 3:<\/p>\n

Create an new project in Visual Studio 2008<\/p>\n

Click\u00a0Project->Properties<\/em>. Select\u00a0Configuration Properties -> Linker -> Input<\/em>. Make sure you select\u00a0Debug<\/em>\u00a0in ‘Configuration:’ drop down menu and then add the following to the\u00a0Additional Dependencies.<\/em><\/p>\n

opencv_features2d230d.lib opencv_highgui230d.lib opencv_core230d.lib opencv_imgproc230d.lib opencv_ml230d.lib opencv_objdetect230d.lib opencv_video230d.lib opencv_contrib230d.lib opencv_calib3d230d.lib<\/p>\n

Now select\u00a0Release<\/em>\u00a0in ‘Configuration:’ drop down menu and\u00a0then add the following to the\u00a0Additional Dependencies \u00a0<\/em>and click OK<\/p>\n

opencv_features2d230.lib opencv_highgui230.lib opencv_core230.lib opencv_imgproc230.lib opencv_ml230.lib opencv_objdetect230.lib opencv_video230.lib opencv_contrib230.lib opencv_calib3d230.lib<\/p>\n

\"alt\"<\/p>\n

\"alt\"<\/p>\n

Step 4:<\/p>\n

Add\u00a0C:\\OpenCV2.3\\build\\x86\\vc9\\bin\u00a0to the environment path as shown in screenshot below. You may need to restart the system after setting this.<\/p>\n

\"alt\"<\/p>\n

To test whether the OpenCV is working, add a C++ file under Source files as shown in screen shots below.<\/p>\n

\"alt\"<\/p>\n

\"alt\"<\/p>\n

Copy the sample program given below and build it and run. An image will be displayed in a window.<\/p>\n

02.<\/code><\/div>\n
03.<\/code>#include <highgui.h><\/code><\/div>\n

13.<\/code>Mat img;<\/code><\/div>\n
14.<\/code><\/div>\n
15.<\/code>img= imread(\"C:\/\/Users\/\/Public\/\/Pictures\/\/Sample Pictures\/\/Desert.JPG\"); \/\/image path<\/code><\/div>\n
16.<\/code><\/div>\n
17.<\/code>imshow(\"wnd\",img);<\/code><\/div>\n
18.<\/code><\/div>\n
19.<\/code>cvWaitKey();<\/code><\/div>\n
20.<\/code><\/div>\n
21.<\/code>return 0;<\/code><\/div>\n
22.<\/code><\/div>\n
23.<\/code>}<\/code><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Note the double backslash in image path in the program.<\/div>\n

For\u00a0OpenCV 2.3.1<\/strong>, the only change is in step 3. Add the library files accordingly as shown below.<\/p>\n

In debug mode<\/p>\n
