BoofCV is available from its central repository at Github or through periodic releases. Below are links to the latest stable release hosted on SourceForge.

Latest Stable Release:

• Compiled Jar and dependencies
• JavaDOC
• Source Code
• Change Log

If you encounter any problems getting BoofCV up and running, please let us know! A bug might have slipped through testing or if the instructions are not clear we would like to know.

Android users, if these jars give you trouble it's probably because they were compiled with JDK 7. See the Android support page for a work around.

Maven

BoofCV is on Maven central repository. To add it to your project add the following to your project's pom file:

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.boofcv</groupId>
  <artifactId>boofcv</artifactId>
  <version>XXX</version>
</dependency>

Replace XXX with the latest version of BoofCV.

Bleeding Edge

BoofCV is being developed in parallel with several other libraries. If you plan on using the latest source code you will need to check out all of their repositories too.

• GeoRegression
• DDogleg
• EJML

Below is a commandline sequence for checking all of those libraries and BoofCV. It also shows you how to place everything in the correct location relative to each other. This is helpful if you plan on using the provided IntelliJ files.

git clone git://github.com/lessthanoptimal/BoofCV.git boofcv
cd boofcv
git submodule init
git submodule update
cd ..
git clone git://github.com/lessthanoptimal/GeoRegression.git georegression
git clone git://github.com/lessthanoptimal/ddogleg.git ddogleg
mkdir -p ejml/trunk
svn checkout https://efficient-java-matrix-library.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ ejml/trunk

Just after BoofCV is checked out it sets up a submodule for the data. The submodule contains data files used in the example code.

The easiest way to build everything is with an IDE. Configuration files are provided for IntelliJ. If you wish to build using ant then you will need to build each library individually in a specific order and copy the jars around. Since this is a pain, using an IDE is recommended or writing a script.

cd ../ejml/trunk/
ant
cp build/jar/EJML.jar ../../ddogleg/lib/
cp build/jar/EJML.jar ../../georegression/lib/
cp build/jar/EJML.jar ../../boofcv/lib/
cd ../../ddogleg/
ant
cp build/jar/DDogleg.jar ../georegression/lib/
cp build/jar/DDogleg.jar ../boofcv/lib/
cd ../georegression/
ant
cp build/jar/GeoRegression.jar ../boofcv/lib/
cd ../boofcv/main/
ant
