oceancv focusses on computer vision algorithms for underwater image analysis. This includes image processing, pattern recognition, machine learning and geometric algorithms but also functionality for navigation.

Motivation

oceancv bundles marine image analysis functionality. Most of the algorithms are related to publications in scientific journals.

Building

oceancv uses cmake. So follow the usual: mkdir build && cd build && cmake ..

You can enable / disable the following build targets:

• WITH_MPEG7 : Build MPEG7 feature extraction library depencendy
• WITH_CUDA : Build with OpenCV GPU functionality
• WITH_TESTS : Build tests (uses Google Test)
• WITH_EXAMPLES : Build examples
• WITH_BIN : Build binary tools
• WITH_DOC : Build doxygen documentation

By default, all targets are being built. And as always, default install path is /usr/local, but you can control this using cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/target/path ..
