Run make install to install the library with dune. You must have OpenCV
installed on your system.
Run make run to run the demo. This demo requires you to
provide a video file demos/basic/test.mp4 as input. It also requires
you to install the owl opam package.
Run make doc to generate documentation. Open
_build/default/_doc/_html/index.html to view. Alternatively, view the
auto-generated docs online:
API.
To build and install the package directly from the development repository,
use opam pin add opencv https://github.com/Calsign/ocaml-opencv.git.
- Provide access to the full OpenCV API through OCaml
- Make it possible to use OpenCV API calls as pure functions
- Use auto-generation of bindings as much as possible
The bindings are currently for a small subset of the OpenCV API (core, imgproc, videoio, and highgui), but the plan is to eventually support the entire API.
Tested with OpenCV 4.3.0. Should work fine with any OpenCV 4.x, but modifications may be necessary to work with older versions.
OWL is not required to use the OpenCV bindings, but it is recommended
because the mat type is compatible with OWL type
Dense.Ndarray.Generic; OWL serves a role similar to numpy for Python.
