Follow these steps to install OpenCV 2.3.1

1. Download Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate (2.27 GB) from lan and install it. It will
take about 2 hrs.
2. Download the OpenCV-2.3.1-win-superpack.exe (124 MB) from lan or from the given link
http://sourceforge.net/projects/opencvlibrary/files/opencv-win/2.3.1/ to any directory.
3. Once the package is downloaded (pre-build binary i.e. no need of cmake build) to any
directory e.g., D directory. Select the package and right click and choose “Run as
administrator”.

3. An Extract window will pop up as shown in the figure above. Enter ‘C:\’ and click the
“Extract” button . You can select whichever drive/directory you wish to. Here C:\ assumed
default directory.
4. A folder by name “opencv” will now be created in the C:\ directory.
5. Add “C:\opencv\build\x86\vc10\bin” by going to Computer (right
click)->properties->Advanced-System settings->Advanced->Environment
variable , System variables-> PATH and restart the system.
6. Open Visual Studio 2010 and select File->new project and Visual C++ and
Win32Console Application .
7. Enter the name of the project and click OK. In the application setting select Console
application and Empty project as shown in figure.

8. Click Finish , then select the project and add a .cpp file as shown in figure below E.g.
“test.cpp”.
9. Click Add and type the code as shown in figure to display a figure. In addition, you will

observe that the


red underlined code also appears. (This is because we did not set the project properties as
yet).

10. Open Project->properties, select Active(debug), Active(win32) (note by default


they will be selected), and press Configuration properties , select VC++ directories
for Include Directories (type/select)C:\opencv\build\include\opencv;
C:\opencv\build\include; opencv is for C type declaration where as opencv2 is for
C++ wrappers, so both should be included as shown in figure. For Library Directories
select C:\opencv\build\x86\vc10\lib;
Next Select Linker ->input option and in Additional dependencies (edit…) paste the
following files:
opencv_calib3d231d.lib
opencv_contrib231d.lib
opencv_core231d.lib
opencv_features2d231d.lib
opencv_flann231d.lib
opencv_gpu231d.lib
opencv_haartraining_engined.lib
opencv_highgui231d.lib

opencv_legacy231d.lib
opencv_ml231d.lib
opencv_objdetect231d.lib
opencv_ts231d.lib
opencv_video231d.lib

Build the project and run.

In case an error ‘ tbb_debug.dll not found’ is flagged then:

Download the tbb zip from the link:


http://threadingbuildingblocks.org/uploads/78/174/4.0/tbb40_233oss_win.zip

Extract the zip file and open ..”\tbb40_20111130oss\bin\ia32\vc10” and search for
“tbb_debug.dll”. Copy and paste it in “C:\opencv\build\x86\vc10\bin” then run the
