Question

I recently started to work on openCV using java and so far it looks great. I managed to detect faces and play with a threshold. So basically 101 stuff.

Now, I wish to take it one step further, I wish to identify the ‘hands’ or ‘fingers’ but for some reason, I noticed that the OpenCV does not contain all methods (functionality) that C++ has. (I may be wrong with this statement)

Given

OpenCV cv = new OpenCV(); 

I’m able to do this:

cv.absDiff();

BUT I’m unable to use other methods such as: split (which exits openCV documentation, http://opencv.willowgarage.com/documentation/cpp/operations_on_arrays.html#cv-split).

So my question is this: what am I missing here or is the OpenCV for java is limited?
I haven’t used C++ for many years (so I don’t really remember the notation).

Thanks for any pointers 🙂

Answer 1

OpenCv is not available in Java as mentioned here. you should use JavaCV instead. It contains all the methods in OpenCV.
