Optionally and given that there are over 300 options to build OpenCV, using a configuration front-end such as ccmake or cmake-gui can be helpful. On a fresh Ubuntu, I only had to install g++ and cmake. Unless you are using a stripped down Linux distribution, most of the native tools are probably already installed (ex. a JDK and a recent version of Apache Ant. To do this, we need a native C++ toolchain ( g++, ld, make, …) and a Java toolchain, i.e. It will then be worthwhile to revisit this and use Panama’s approach instead of the old JNI approach.īuilding OpenCV and its Java bindings is straight forward but it takes time! The bulk of the time is spent in building natively OpenCV for the target platform, then the Java bindings will be built for that same platform. Panama is under active development, its current focus is on C but C++ support should be added later. Panama is an OpenJDK project whose goal is to improve and enrich the connections between the JVM and well-defined “foreign”, i.e. Producing builds on Windows is just a matter of properly installing and configuring the native toolchain, and configure the respective Java paths. The latest and greatest OpenCV and Java versions are used but this obviously work using different versions. The latest Java version, 14 at the time of writing, is used as all the OpenCV Java material seems to be stuck on Java 8 (and OpenCV 3).
#OPENCV BUILD CMAKE LINUX HOW TO#
how to package ‘OpenCV modules’ as Java Modules, how to use jmod and jlink, etc. ❕A follow-up article will detail how to use OpenCV with the Java Module System, ex. This ‘how-to’ explains how to build the latest version of OpenCV (4.2+) with its Java JNI bindings on Linux and macOS. OpenCV offers ‘official’ distributions for Windows, iOS and Android but none for Linux and macOS.

Technically, those bindings rely on the traditional JNI approach. Today, the most common way to use OpenCV from Java is to use its Java bindings. OpenCV is a powerfull open source Computer Vision library written mainly in C++.
