opencv_dart

OpenCV Bindings for Dart Language.

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

WIP, contributions are welcome!

Platform	Supported	Tested	Prebuilt Binaries
Android	✅	☑️	x86_64, arm64-v8a, armeabi-v7a
iOS	❌	❌	❌
Linux	✅	✅	x64
Windows	✅	✅	x64
macOS	✅	✅	x64, arm64

• I have no Apple devices, so iOS and macOS are not supported yet macOS compiled by Github Workflow available now, try it!
• Theorically the dart codes will work for iOS, you can compile binaries by yourself, contributions are welcome!

IMPORTANT

After added to pubspec.yaml or install by commandline, please run dart run opencv_dart:setup <platform> --arch <arch> to download prebuilt binaries.

• platform: auto android linux windows macos
• arch: auto x86 x64 arm64(macOS only) x86_64(android only) arm64-v8a(android only) armeabi-v7a(android only)
• run dart run opencv_dart:setup -h to see more options

Please use v0.3.0 and later version.

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?

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

   macos:

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

2. install dependencies: cmake, python, add to PATH

3. clone this repo, git clone --recursive https://github.com/rainyl/opencv_dart.git

4. cd opencv_dart

5. compile opencv

   for windows:

   python .\scripts\build.py --opencv --build-dir build --src src windows --arch x64

   for linux:

   python ./scripts/build.py --opencv --build-dir build --src src linux --arch x64

   for macOS:

   python3 ./scripts/build.py --opencv --build-dir build --src src macos --arch <arm64, x64>

   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.

6. compile this package along with gocv.

   windows:

    python ./scripts/build.py --dart --build-dir build --src src windows --arch x64

   linux:

    python ./scripts/build.py --dart --build-dir build --src src linux --arch x64

   macOS:

   python3 ./scripts/build.py --dart --build-dir build --src src macos --arch <x64, arm64>

   Android:

    python ./scripts/build.py --dart --build-dir build --src src --android-ndk <Android NDK path> android --arch <x86_64, arm64-v8a, armeabi-v7a>

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