This directory contains the View Synthesis Reference Software (VSRS) as part of the ISO/IEC JTC1/SC29 WG 11 (MPEG) 3D Video Call for Proposals Please refer to doc/SoftwareManualVSRS.doc for compilation, usage and configuration instructions. OpenCV library -------------- Note that the OpenCV library is required to be able to compile the source code. The version of OpenCV is not important, any version from 1.0 to 2.2 can be used. OpenCV can be downloaded from: http://sourceforge.net/projects/opencvlibrary/ Installation instructions and IDE setup can be found here: http://opencv.willowgarage.com/wiki/InstallGuide Instruction how to setup MS Visual Studio can be found here: http://opencv.willowgarage.com/wiki/VisualC%2B%2B Depending on your OpenCV version, you may need to update the MS Visual Studio project file to set-up the correct linker dependencies. Open the VSRS solution (e.g. VSRSVC8.sln) in Visual Studio In the solutions Explorer select the ViewSyn project (e.g ViewSynVC8) then select Project -> Properties (or Alt-F7) -> Configuration Properties -> Linker -> Input -> Additional Dependencies: for Opencv1.0-1.1 add following libraries: cv.lib highgui.lib cvaux.lib cxcore.lib for Opencv2.0 add following libraries: cv200.lib highgui200.lib cvaux200.lib cxcore200.lib
