First Step

Download CL SDK & OpenCV

• Goto CL Eye Platform SDK (http://codelaboratories.com/products/eye/sdk/)
• Download and install the SDK.
• Goto OpenCV wiki page (http://opencv.willowgarage.com/wiki/, I have downloaded the OpenCV2.2 Windows Installer)
• Download and install OpenCV.

Second Step

Create the project.

• Open the VS2008 (I’m using the Team System edition)
• Create a new Win32 Console Application project ( File, New, Project… ), as named Hello_PS3.
• When the pop up dialog ask you about the Additional options, please check Empty project, then finish the wizard.

Third Step

Coding…

• Add a header file named main.h (Right click the Header Files folder in the Solution Explorer, Add, New Item…)
• Write the header file, an example as shown below:

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19

  ////////////////////// // Date: 2011-04-29 // File: main.h ////////////////////// #pragma once   #ifndef _WIN32_WINNT #define _WIN32_WINNT 0x0600 #endif   #pragma warning( disable: 4996 )   #include <stdio.h> #include <windows.h>   #include <cv.h> #include <highgui.h>   #include "CLEyeMulticam.h"

• Add a C++ source file named main.cpp (under Source Files folder)
• Write the source file, an example as shown below:

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 100 101 102 103 104 105 106 107 108 109 110 111 112 113 114 115 116 117 118 119 120 121 122 123 124 125 126 127 128 129 130 131 132 133 134 135 136 137 138 139 140 141 142 143 144 145 146 147 148 149 150 151 152 153 154 155 156 157 158 159

Fourth Step

Additional settings before build the solution.

• Add the Additional Include Directories values (Alt+F7, Configuration Properties, C/C++, General) as below:

  C:\Program Files\OpenCV2.2\include
  C:\Program Files\OpenCV2.2\include\opencv
  C:\Program Files\Code Laboratories\CL-Eye Platform SDK\Include
  

  (You should change the directory path to yours)

• Make sure that the Runtime library value is set to Multi-threaded DLL(/MD) mode. (C/C++, Code Generation)
• Add the Additional Dependencies values (Linker, Input) as shown below:

  "C:\Program Files\Code Laboratories\CL-Eye Platform SDK\Lib\CLEyeMulticam.lib"
  "C:\Program Files\OpenCV2.2\lib\opencv_core220.lib"
  "C:\Program Files\OpenCV2.2\lib\opencv_highgui220.lib"
  

  (Yeah, you should change above path, if you have different one)

Fifth Step

Okay, now finishing your project!

• Build Solution (F7)
• Run it, and it works! (F5)
