Here's the answer for your issue. Probably you need to change the platform in Build configuration manager https://stackoverflow.com/a/4364020/3724463

Answer 2

I found the solution to this annoying problem, just follow steps below:

1. In your Project Properties -> VC++ Directories -> Library Directories check that you have included only x64 build path if not please remove the x86 build path (something like this: C:\\opencv2413\\build\\x64\\vc12\\lib) make changes according to extraction path of OpenCV in your system.

2. In your Project Properties -> Linker -> General -> Additional Library Directories check that it is set to x64 and not x86 like this ($(OPENCV_BUILD)\\x64\\vc12\\lib).

3. If you have added a property sheet apply above steps to same.

4. Delete Release|Win32 and Debug|Win32 (or Release|X86 and Debug|X86) in property Manager.

5. Build your project using Release or Debug x64.

If this doesn't work please let me know, I would be glad to help.
