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:
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 Central
BoofCV is on Maven central repository which allows you to simply reference a jar instead of manually downloading it. The library is broken up into several modules, listed below. To have all the core capabilities include calibration, feature, geo, io, ip, recognition, sfm, and visualize.
Artifact List
- calibration : Camera calibration
- feature : feature detection/description
- geo : Perspective Geometry
- io : Input/Output, e.g. loading and saving images
- ip : Image Processing
- recognition : Object tracking
- sfm : Structure from Motion
- visualize : Visualization using swing
- android : Android support
- openkinect : Open Kinect support (The Kinect RGB-D sensor)
- processing : Processing library support
- v4l4j : v4l4j support (webcams on Linux)
- WebcamCapture : Webcam Capture support
- xuggler : xuggler (reading videos)
Maven
<dependency> <groupId>org.boofcv</groupId> <artifactId>ARTIFACT</artifactId> <version>0.17</version> </dependency>
Gradle
compile group: 'org.boofcv', name: 'ARTIFACT', version: '0.18'
Where MODULE is one of the modules listed.
Bleeding Edge
The absolutely latest code is available on Github. This code should be considered developmental, but effort is made to have it always compile. To check it out do the following.
https://github.com/lessthanoptimal/BoofCV.git boofcv cd boofcv https://github.com/lessthanoptimal/BoofCV-Data.git data
Then Gradle can be used to build the project as is usual.
