ImageDB2

Image indexing, DB, and recombination

Mac OS

Follow this guide from pyimagesearch. (I used Python 3.7, so far OK.)

Installing OpenCV4

Linux Mint 19...

Dependencies/Setup

apt-get install python3 python3-pip virtualenv

python3 (aliased in bashrc as python if not already mapped)

pip already maps to pip3, to upgrade it: pip install --upgrade --user pip

Installed 'scipy stack](https://www.scipy.org/install.html): python -m pip install --user numpy scipy matplotlib ipython jupyter pandas sympy nose

Installed virtualenv: apt-get install pyenv and used pip to install pipenv (dep manager) python3 -m pip install --user pipenv

Now, inside of the imagedb2 folder, you can use pipenv to install deps: pipenv install numpy. The first run automatically creates and sets up a virtual environment for this project/directory. The proper files are automatically created in the ~/.local dir. Each subsequent call to install via pipenv installs further deps into this specific virtual env. You will want to pipenv install ipython and then you'll have a shell via pipenv shell...

Install the following: ipython, numpy

OpenCV 4.0

Follow the opencv directions to build from source

These are the libs I installed on Mint (collected from other installation instructions and from cmake config output). Not all are needed, necesarrily.

sudo apt-get install libpng-dev libjpeg-dev libtiff-dev libwebp-dev ffmpeg-dev
sudo apt-get install libgtk-3-dev
libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-dev
sudo apt-get install libavcodec-dev libavutil-dev libswscale-dev libavformat-dev libavresample-dev
sudo apt-get install libatlas-base-dev libopenblas-dev libtbb2 libtbb-dev

Also of note, java config was not automatically detected or it was not setup as OpenCV expected; did not build java or js bindings. Not sure if BLAS or LaPack support was actually included or relevant. No jasper; why is it even included as an optional dep?

Otherwise, things proceeded as expected. Additional links to ponder further installation/build details:
