OpenCV with JavaCV or only OpenCV to use java API

Question

I am a new to OpenCV library and I would like to use the Java API for openCV. I read instructions in websites regarding how to install openCV and use it as a library in Eclipse.

Now what confuses me is, as I want to program in Java should i use JavaCv? or only openCV as the latter has java API as well?

kindly please clarify this issue.

Answer 1

Since version 2.4.4 OpenCV supports Java . You will find a jar in the OpenCV/build/java folder. For details, see this tutorial about using OpenCV Java with Eclipse.

So my answer is, use only OpenCV, as described in the tutorial, not JavaCV.
