GeneralNotes

Compiling ## opencv ## for your pc:
  Get the code: http://sourceforge.net/projects/opencvlibrary/
  Get the OpenCV Extra modules
    > git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/Itseez/opencv_contrib.git
  go into code directory
  > mkdir release
  > cd release
  > apt-get install python3-dev cmake build-essential pkg-config python3-numpy libjpeg-dev libpng12-dev libtiff5-dev libjasper-dev libavcodec-dev libavformat-dev libswscale-dev libv4l-dev libtbb-dev libfaac-dev libmp3lame-dev libopencore-amrnb-dev libopencore-amrwb-dev libtheora-dev libvorbis-dev libxvidcore-dev x264 v4l-utils doxygen unzip libeigen3-dev libqt4-dev
!!Be carefull to set the correct path to the cotrib modules in the next command. (-D OPENCV_EXTRA_MODULES_PATH=Your Path)
  > cmake -Wno-dev -D OPENCV_EXTRA_MODULES_PATH=../../opencv_contrib/modules -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RELEASE -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local -D WITH_TBB=ON -D WITH_V4L=ON -D INSTALL_C_EXAMPLES=ON -D INSTALL_PYTHON_EXAMPLES=ON -D BUILD_EXAMPLES=ON -D WITH_OPENGL=ON -D WITH_EIGEN=ON -D BUILD_DOCS=ON -D BUILD_TESTS=OFF -D BUILD_PERF_TESTS=OFF -D WITH_QT=ON ..
  > make
  > make install                (as root)
  You can instead use "checkinstall" to generate a package and allow clean uninstallation without the source directory
  > ldconfig                    (as root)

you can also compile the documentation.
  go to doc directory
  > make doxygen


Compiling a file with ## cmake ##
    Create an CMakeLists.txt file, just take a look at the others that are there
    compiling your project:
        (in the project directory)
        > mkdir release
        > cd release
        > cmake ..
        Above steps are only needed once.
        Repeat the cmake execution if you change the CMakeLists.txt or if you install a missing library,
        but remove the contents in the release directory before.

        Final compilation and execution in one line:
        > make && ./Executablename

Opencv version: 3.1.0


## Good Habit ##
    1. Document your code
    2.Specify paths relative so they work for everyone,
        use forward dashes because they work on Windows and Linux.
        Two dots refer to the directory above. Note that your code executes in the release directory if you use cmake.
        ../imagefiles/source.jpg instead of C:\User\Documents\Stuff\...\myproject\imagefiles\source.jpg
