zOpenCV Examples

This directory contains 22 complete, working examples demonstrating various OpenCV capabilities through the zOpenCV bindings.

Building Examples

# Build all examples
zig build examples -Dcontrib=true

# Build a specific example
zig build example-hello_opencv
zig build example-face_detection

# Run a specific example
./zig-out/bin/hello_opencv

Example Index

Getting Started

Example Description
hello_opencv.zig Minimal example: create a Mat, check properties
image_io.zig Read, manipulate, and write images

Image Processing

Example Description
color_spaces.zig Convert between color spaces (BGR, HSV, Gray)
edge_detection.zig Canny, Sobel, and Laplacian edge detection
threshold.zig Binary, adaptive, and Otsu thresholding
morphology.zig Erosion, dilation, opening, closing operations
histogram.zig Histogram calculation and equalization
contours.zig Contour detection and drawing
template_matching.zig Find patterns in images using template matching
drawing.zig Draw lines, rectangles, circles, ellipses, and text
image_processing_pipeline.zig Chain multiple processing steps together

Feature Detection & Matching

Example Description
feature_matching.zig Detect and match features using ORB descriptors
realtime_features.zig Real-time feature detection pipeline

Object Detection

Example Description
face_detection.zig Face detection using Haar cascade classifier

Video I/O

Example Description
camera_capture.zig Capture frames from a webcam
video_capture.zig Read and process video files
video_writer.zig Write processed frames to a video file

Video Analysis

Example Description
optical_flow.zig Dense optical flow visualization
background_subtraction.zig Motion detection via background subtraction

Contrib Modules

Example Description
aruco_demo.zig ArUco marker detection and generation
img_hash_demo.zig Image perceptual hashing for similarity comparison
photo_demo.zig Photo enhancement: denoising, HDR, inpainting

Notes

  • Most examples create synthetic test images, so no external files are needed.
  • Examples requiring a webcam or specific files print usage instructions when run without arguments.
  • All examples follow the RAII pattern with defer .deinit() for automatic resource cleanup.
  • Build with -Dcontrib=true to include contrib module examples (aruco, img_hash, background_subtraction).
