About the Programs in This Book

All the program examples in this book are based on OpenCV version 2.0. The code should definitely work under Linux or Windows and probably under OS-X, too. Source code for the examples in the book can be fetched from this book's website (http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/9780596516130). OpenCV can be loaded from its source forge site (http://sourceforge.net/projects/opencvlibrary).

OpenCV is under ongoing development, with official releases occurring once or twice a year. As a rule of thumb, you should obtain your code updates from the source forge CVS server (http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=22870).
