Question

Recently I was turned on to the opencv programming library for image and data processing, and over the course of trying to get the software to work I’ve decided I’m simply fed up with how complicated it is to get the libraries onto my computer. Is there another library or framework that allows a user to interact with cameras and image processing in c++ but doesn’t require such tedious work to obtain and install as OpenCV?

Edit: The reason I am having a hard time with opencsv is because I do not wish to use an IDE to develop any of my programs, I am trying to learn to use gdb from the cmd line and vim to edit

You can use this in 8-steps

#include <cv.h>
#include <highgui.h>

using namespace cv;

int main( int argc, char** argv )
{
  Mat image;
  image = imread( argv[1], 1 );

  if( argc != 2 || !image.data )
    {
      printf( "No image data \n" );
      return -1;
    }

  namedWindow( "Display Image", CV_WINDOW_AUTOSIZE );
  imshow( "Display Image", image );

  waitKey(0);

  return 0;
}

in Linux.

Windows also needs 8-steps.

You can call MATLAB engine from C/C++ . Matlab has image-processing too!
