OpenCV as a native library.

From this thread: http://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewtop ... 69#p360369

It looks like some people (besides me) would like to see if it's possible to bring OpenCV to PureBasic.

For those who don't know what it is, here is a link to the Wiki...

I too would love to have this. I discovered it a few weeks ago and it looked incredibly useful.

I third this.

I'm thinking the part about it now being written in C++ will probably get it voted down by Dev Staff. As far as native library goes

You may be right, Zach, which is why I'd personally welcome an unofficial PB wrapper for OpenCV - in any case we'd be waiting a long time for an official library.

But if enough people "vote" for it here, I'm sure the devs will consider it. It's open-source, cross-platform and actively developed - what's not to like? (Okay, it's a bit niche.)

I suppose one question is whether it should plug into 2D-Drawing or sprites.

It might be helpful if people more familiar with OpenCV give some examples of what would be possible with an official PB library. AFAIK, the following things would be possible:

face recognition
gesture recognition
blob analysis

I found and open source .NET wrapper for Open CV, http://www.emgu.com/
I tried a Face detection sample with VB.NET and I am impressed, the real world applications of this amazing piece of gold are endless.

Imagine this great library working with PureBasic!

anybody gonna make a wrapper for PureBasic?!

Voting in numbers doesn't guarantee anything, as history has shown in various threads. Some things have been voted on by many people well over 5 years ago and still nothing's happened. Even the team has stated that posting "+1" in threads doesn't mean anything to them. Just don't hold your breath, is all I'm saying.

I don't want it to be natively integrated in PureBasic. I want someone who makes a wrapper for it like the OpenGL wrappers.
