opencv_dart 1.2.0

OpenCV4 bindings for Dart language and Flutter, using dart:ffi. The most complete OpenCV bindings for Dart! With asynchronous support now!

opencv_dart

OpenCV Bindings for Dart Language. Support both asynchronous and synchronous!

Important

For v1.0.6 and later, auto setup is supported, libs will be downloaded from Releases automatically.

1. If you want to setup manually, please set OPENCV_DART_DISABLE_AUTO_BUILD environment variable, e.g., export OPENCV_DART_DISABLE_AUTO_BUILD=1(for Unix-like) or $env:OPENCV_DART_DISABLE_AUTO_BUILD=1(for Windows)

For v1.0.4 and below, make sure run the following setup commands before running your app:

1. flutter pub add opencv_dart or dart pub add opencv_dart
2. dart run opencv_dart:setup <platform> --arch <arch>

platform	arch
android	x86_64 arm64-v8a armeabi-v7a
linux	x64
windows	x64
macos	x64 arm64
ios	x64 arm64 os64

• More questions: refer to #29 or open new issues.
• If you are using flutter with Native Assets feature supported, consider using v2.x version, see more in native-assets branch

Usage

Warning

Since v1.0.0, nearly ALL APIs were changed to compitable with opencv-python, for example:

// old API
void cvtColor(Mat src, Mat dst, int code);
// new API
Mat cvtColor(Mat src, int code, {Mat? dst});

// then usage will be changed from:
cvtColor(src, dst, cv.COLOR_BGR2GRAY);
// to:
final dst = cvtColor(src, cv.COLOR_BGR2GRAY);
// or:
cvtColor(src, cv.COLOR_BGR2GRAY, dst: dst);

If you really need updates for v0.6.x, open PRs and it will be merged to v0.6 branch.

Pure Dart

import 'package:opencv_dart/opencv_dart.dart' as cv;

void main() {
  final img = cv.imread("test/images/lenna.png", flags: cv.IMREAD_COLOR);
  final gray = cv.cvtColor(img, cv.COLOR_BGR2GRAY);
  print("${img.rows}, ${img.cols}");

  cv.imwrite("test_cvtcolor.png", gray);
}

Flutter

see example

~~More examples are on the way...~~see opencv_dart.examples and share yours

TODO

• ✅ compile libs for android, linux
• ✅ support for iOS, macOS
• ✅ add more examples
• ❌ documentation
• ✅ modify C wrapper to catch exceptions
• ✅ Native Assets, see native-assets branch
• ✅ async
• ✅ more/full test coverage
• ✅ directly include opencv source code, refactor cmakelists.txt

For Developers

Note

since v1.0.1, to speed up compile in CI, opencv is precompiled in opencv.full, and this repo will download the prebuilt static libraries from it's release, if you want to compile entirely by yourself, you can compile opencv and explicitly set -o opencv_dir=<path to opencv> for the below commands or set OpenCV_DIR environment variable.

How to compile

1. Install dependencies

• Windows: Install Visual Studio 2019 or Later, install Conan

   python3 -m pip install conan
   conan profile detect -f
  

  If you are usin Scoop:

  scoop install conan
  

• Linux: Ubuntu as example

  sudo apt-get install build-essential libgtk-3-dev ffmpeg libavcodec-dev cmake \
    ninja-build libavformat-dev libavutil-dev libswscale-dev \
    libgflags-dev python3 libjpeg-dev libpng-dev libtiff-dev python3-pip
  
  python3 -m pip install conan
  conan profile detect -f
  

• macOS: XCode is required

  brew install --force --overwrite ninja ffmpeg@6 conan
  brew link --overwrite ffmpeg@6
  conan profile detect -f
  

2. clone this repo

git clone https://github.com/rainyl/opencv_dart.git
cd opencv_dart

3. compile

• Windows:

  conan build . -b missing -s compiler.cppstd=20
  

• Linux, macos:

  conan build . -b missing
  

• android

If you want to use your own NDK instead of conan maintained one, please set ANDROID_NDK_HOME or ANDROID_NDK_ROOT environment variable, e.g., export ANDROID_NDK_HOME=/opt/android-ndk-r26c

conan build . -b missing -pr:h profiles/android-<arch> -c tools.android:ndk_path="<ABSOLUTE path for ndk>"

• ios:

  conan build . -b missing -pr:h profiles/ios-<arch>
  

4. test

• Set OPENCV_DART_LIB_PATH environment variable to the path of the compiled dynamic library, e.g., export OPENCV_DART_LIB_PATH=pwd/linux/libopencv_dart.so or $ENV:OPENCV_DART_LIB_PATH=$PWD\windows\opencv_dart.dll
• or append the lib path to the library search path of your system
• If you want to test using vscode, add above variable to "dart.env" in settings.json

5. Cross-compile for linux aarch64

Compiling for linux aarch64 requires GCC 13 and newer, conan toolchain for linux arm is located in opencv.full, explore more there.
