OpenCV Installation

An installation manual for Open Computer Vision Library for Windows users is provided on this page.

OpenCV means Intel® Open Source Computer Vision Library. It is a collection of C functions and few C++ classes that implement some popular algorithms of Image Processing and Computer Vision.

OpenCV is cross-platform middle-to-high level API that consists of a few hundreds C functions. It does not rely on external numerical libraries, though it can make use of some of them (see below) at runtime, if they are available.

More references on the functions and libraries of OpenCV can be found at the following link:

OpenCV Documentation

The installation manual is for OpenCV_b4a and newer releases are available that might have slightly different in installation instructions.

Note that OpenCV is a C++ library so you should have access to C++ coding environments to use this library.

First, download Open Computer Vision Library by choosing your location on the site you will be directed to once you click the following link:

Download OpenCV_b4a

Once the download finishes, download the following installation manual, and follow the steps to install OpenCV on your computer. Note that you will need the file named vc98.zip during installation. So, download and unzip that file before starting the installation.
