OpenCV Support

Convert camera parameters, MEX file support, and prebuilt MATLAB^® interfaces to OpenCV

The Computer Vision Toolbox™ Interface for OpenCV in MATLAB support package provides these functionalities for OpenCV support:

MATLAB functions to convert computed camera parameters between MATLAB and OpenCV formats for camera calibration applications.
OpenCV Interface C++ API support files for building MEX files that you can use to call OpenCV functions and integrate OpenCV C++ code into MATLAB. The interface does not support graphics processing unit (GPU). You can use the MEX-based approach to integrate a custom OpenCV function with MATLAB. For more information about the MEX-based approach, see Build MEX-Files for OpenCV Interface.
Prebuilt MATLAB interface to the OpenCV library to directly call OpenCV functions from MATLAB without writing C/C++ code. The support package also provides MATLAB functions to pass data back and forth between OpenCV and MATLAB. However, the prebuilt MATLAB interface to the OpenCV does not provide support for integrating custom OpenCV functions with MATLAB.

To use the MEX-based and the prebuilt MATLAB interface to OpenCV support files, you must first download the Computer Vision Toolbox Interface for OpenCV in MATLAB support package. For information about how to download the support package, see Install and Use Computer Vision Toolbox Interface for OpenCV in MATLAB.

Featured Examples

Perform Edge-Preserving Image Smoothing Using OpenCV in MATLAB

Perform edge-preserving image smoothing by using prebuilt MATLAB® interface to the OpenCV function cv::edgePreservingFilter. In this example, you also use the createMat utility function to define the input and output arrays, and the getImage utility function to read the output image returned by the OpenCV function.

Subtract Image Background by Using OpenCV in MATLAB

Subtract the background in an image sequence or a video by using the prebuilt MATLAB® interface to the OpenCV function cv::BackgroundSubtractorKNN. In this example, you also use the createMat utility function to define the input and output arrays, and the getImage utility function to read the output image returned by the OpenCV function. The input video must be have a static background and dynamic foreground objects.

Perform Face Detection by Using OpenCV in MATLAB

Detect faces in an image or video by using prebuilt MATLAB® interface to the OpenCV function cv::CascadeClassifier. This example uses a Harr face detection model that is trained for scale-invariant, frontal face detection. In this example, you also use the createMat utility function to define the input and output arrays, the getImage utility function to read the output image returned by the OpenCV function, and the rectToBbox utility function to convert the face detection output returned by the OpenCV function to bounding box coordinates in MATLAB®.
