Using OpenCV with Eclipse

Step1:

Download and install Opencv and Eclipse C++

Download and install Eclipse

Download and install Opencv binary

Build and install Opencv to Linux/Ubuntu

Step2:
Launch Eclipse and create a C++ project and select Linux GCC

Go to "Properties/C/C++ Build/Settings/"
Select GCC C++ Linker/ Libraries
Paste each of them to "Libraries (-l)"
  opencv_core 
  opencv_highgui 
  opencv_features2d 
  opencv_superres opencv_video 
  opencv_calib3d opencv_flann 
  opencv_videostab 
  opencv_calib3d  
  opencv_objdetect 
  opencv_imgproc

You should check whether your opencv libraray exists in ldconfig by $ sudo ldconfig -v | egrep -i opencv.  If it does not exist in ldconfig, you should paste the specified library path to "Library search path(-L)" as follow:
  /usr/local/lib

If your opencv verison >= 3.0, you can paste them and you have opencv contrib module
  opencv_imgcodecs
  opencv_imgproc
  opencv_highgui
  opencv_ml
  opencv_rgbd
  opencv_core
  opencv_stereo
  opencv_viz
  opencv_video
  opencv_features2d
  opencv_calib3d
  opencv_objdetect
  opencv_flann

Step3:
Select GCC C++ Compiler/includes. You should check whether the header of your opencv. It might be placed in  /usr/include or /usr/local/include. So you can use $ find -iname 'opencv' first. After you find it, paste it to " include path(-l) "
 /usr/include  or /usr/local/include

Step4:

Paste the snippet of the code:

#include <opencv2/opencv.hpp> 

using namespace cv;

int main(int argc, char** argv)

{

    Mat inputImage = imread(argv[1]);

    imshow("Input Image", inputImage);

    waitKey(0);

    return 0;

}

Step5:

Ctrl+B to build it

Run the program using terminal: e.g.: $ ./main ~/lena.jpg

If cannot find opencv_core.xx.so at runtime, please add the bellow cmds to .bashrc

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/lib:/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib"

Setup C++ 11 on Eclipse

Caffe on Ubuntu / Eclipse C/C++

Purpose

After building Caffe framework, you can use Eclipse to develop and build your own application by including Caffe. Here is an article to teach you how to set up Eclipse for Caffe on Ubuntu14.04 and Eclipse C/C++.

Step 1: 
Open Eclipse, create a C++ project and select Linux GCC toolchains.

Step2:
Go to "properties->C/C++ Build->Settings-> GCC C++ Compiler ->includes" to set Caffe's include path. Add two paths to be included:
   to/your/path/caffe/include
   to/your/path/caffe/distribute/include

Notes: Whenever Caffe releases, need to run all build coomands

Step3:
  Go to "properties->C/C++ Build->Settings-> GCC C++ Linker ->Libraries" to set Caffe's libray path.

Add the bellows to "Library search path(-L)"
     to/your/path/caffe/build/lib

Paste it to " include path(-l) "
     caffe

Step4: (Optional)
Because I didn't use GPU to compute, so I set CPU_ONLY=1 for preprocessor.

 

Step5: 
To let Linker find libcaffe.so , you need to specify libcaffe.so in Properties->C/C++ Build->Setting->GCC C++ Linker->Miscellaneous->Other objects

If you does not want specify libcaffe.so in Eclipse.
You can Set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to ~.bashrc to find libcaffe for linker
$ echo 'export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="to/your/path/caffe/build/lib/"' > ~/.bashrc

In my case:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/lib:/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib:/home/darrenl/developments/caffe/build/lib/"

Step6:
Add a *.cpp file and include caffe.hpp to build.

#include <caffe/caffe.hpp>
using caffe::Blob;
using caffe::Caffe;
using caffe::Datum;
using caffe::Net;
using caffe::shared_ptr;
using caffe::vector;
using caffe::MemoryDataLayer;
int main() {
    Net<float> *caffe_net;
    return 0;
}

You can refer to my source code:
$ git clone https://github.com/tzutalin/caffe_test.git

Build and Run
Build: Project-> Build Project  (ctrl + b)
Run: Run as Local C++ application (ctrl + F11)
