OpenCV in WorldViz

[sircedric4]

I am looking to use some of the face recognition and edge detection from OpenCV and am trying to get the python version to work inside WorldViz. Has anyone been able to get OpenCV working with WorldViz?

All the install guides I can find on the internet refer to Python 2.6 or greater and I know WorldViz uses Python 2.4. I've tried to perform the install stuff anyway, but haven't successfully been able to get WorldViz to recognize the dll's. I've had some troubles getting the latest OpenCV version to build which maybe part of the problem.

I am probably doing something wrong, I just want to know if anyone else has gotten it to work. If I know its possible, I can do reinstalls and maybe get new C++ compilers to make the wrappers. If the version differences won't let it work anyway I would like to know before going on a wild goose chase.

Not with Vizard, but I've used OpenCV 1.0 with Python 2.4...I could post the module & dlls somewhere if you want to try that.

I tried building 1.1 on Linux once--couldn't get the Python bindings to work & ended up going with the 1.0 binaries there as well.

Sorry for the blatant thread hi-jack , but this thread caught my eye. I would be VERY interested to try your compiled OpenCV modules etc. with Vizard and while I hope that Vizard will migrate to a later version of Python sooner or later (enabling the use of OpenCV 2.0) I cannot wait for that to happen.

Like the poster above, I would also be interested in your OpenCV dll's. I am still trying to get OpenCV 2.0 to work in Vizard, but in the meantime if you have something that works from previous version I am definitely interested.

OK, I zipped the files I could find and put them at
https://netfiles.uiuc.edu/jimc/shared/pyOpenCV_py24.zip

I may have modified/broken a few of the samples...

Thank you very much, I am busy today so will look at this tomorrow
