opencv_dart 2.0.0-dev.1

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

opencv_dart

OpenCV Bindings for Dart Language.

!!!This package is experimental and APIs may change in the future!!!

v2.x.x is in development and `Native Assets` feature is required, Use only if you know what you are doing!

WIP, contributions are welcome!

BREAKING CHANGES

The refactor of #13 bas been finished, 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);

The new APIs have been published in v1.0.0, if you are still using the old ones and do not want to upgrade, you can use the old versions less than v1.0.0.

The OLD APIs won't get any updates from maintainer since v0.6.7, if you really need updates, open PRs and I will merge it to v0.6 branch.

IMPORTANT

Please run

dart run opencv_dart:setup <platform> --arch <arch>

to download prebuilt binaries.

• platform: auto android linux windows macos ios
• for Windows, arch: x64
• for Linux, arch: x64
• for macOS, arch: x64 arm64

Usage

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.Mat.empty();

  cv.cvtColor(img, gray, cv.COLOR_BGR2GRAY);
  print("${img.rows}, ${img.cols}");

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

More examples are on the way...

TODO

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

For Developers

This package is in heavy development, dynamic libraries for Windows and linux have been compiled, for other platforms, you need to compile it yourself.

How to compile

1. prepare a compiler.

   windows: Install Visual Studio 2019 or Later

   ubuntu: reference opencv official build guide to install

   sudo apt-get install build-essential libgtk-3-dev ffmpeg libavcodec-dev cmake \
      ninja-build ccache nasm libavformat-dev libavutil-dev libswscale-dev \
      libgflags-dev python3 libjpeg-dev libpng-dev libtiff-dev python3-pip
   

   macos:

   brew install --force --overwrite ninja ccache ffmpeg nasm cmake
   

   from v0.6.4, build system has been migrated to conan

      python3 -m pip install conan
      conan profile detect -f
   

2. clone this repo, git clone https://github.com/rainyl/opencv_dart.git

3. cd opencv_dart

4. compile

   for windows:

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

   for linux, macos:

   conan build . -b missing
   

   for android, you need to download android ndk and opencv for android sdk, extract opencv sdk and copy and rename OpenCV-android-sdk to build/opencv/android directory. NO need for opencv sdk now, will be compiled from source to enable contrib modules

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

   for ios:

   echo "tools.cmake.cmaketoolchain:user_toolchain=[\"`pwd`/profiles/ios.toolchain.cmake\"]" >> profiles/ios-<arch>
   conan build . -b missing -pr:h profiles/ios-<arch>
   

5. If you want to test using vscode, add dynamic library path to "dart.env" in settings.json
