Summary

This chapter provided several different approaches for setting up OpenCV for Java, that is, by either installing compiled binaries or compiling it from the source. It also pointed to instructions for making the main configurations in Eclipse and NetBeans IDE as well as for using building tools such as Ant and Maven. The user should be ready to easily start using OpenCV in his/her Java projects.

The next chapter will go deeper into OpenCV and address basic tasks such as handling images through matrices, reading image files, retrieving frames from a webcam, and creating nice Swing GUIs for your computer vision applications.
