Problem with building opencv_contrib. Cannot find file face.hpp.

I want to use FaceRecognizer class. As far as I know, it's not present in OpenCV 3.* versions, so I need to build opencv_contrib repository to be able to use it in my projects.

Unfortunately something went wrong, I've built it, but I still can't find face.hpp file in libraries folder. Here is what I've done to build it:

This is where I installed OpenCV and how it looks like: image description

This is where I've copied opecv_contrib and how it looks like on my drive: image description

This is how I configured cmake-gui it build new libraries: image description

When I try to include face.hpp in my code:

#include "opencv2/face.hpp"

I see: cannot open source file "opencv2/face.hpp" and identifier "FaceRecognizer" is undefined.

Am I doing something wrong?

it works with #include "opencv2/face.hpp" or with #include <opencv2 face.hpp="">

Have you check that BUILD_opencv_face is checked ? and BUILD_opencv_objdetect is checked too ?

@LBerger If you are talking about options in cmake-gui, then: yes, they are all checked, but BUILD_opencv_face is highlighted in red. Does it mean something?

Yes it is in CMake GUI. About red I don't know. Have you build opencv with samples? if yes check if facerec_demo.cpp samples is OK.

LBerger ( 2017-01-05 14:41:40 -0600 )edit

@LBerger no, it's not, because, like in my project, compiler can't find "opencv2/face.hpp"

To build opencv you have to clone it from github

git clone https://github.com/opencv/opencv.git
git clone https://github.com/opencv/opencv_contrib.git

Its simple, if something is red in cmake then it means something is wrong. You are lucky, for OpenCV 3 Blueprints we also used the face module, so we have a tutorial completely describing the configuration. Can you take a look there?

I'm not sure that if something is red something is wrong using CMake 3.7.1. When I leave cmake everything is white and when I reopen cmakelists everything is red

@StevenPuttemans: I've followed tutorial that you've linked. I deleted all opencv libs and I've built everything from scratch. Now, my Visual Studio doesn't seem to see any of opencv libraries. Not only face.hpp but all of them. As far as I know, all libraries should be present in include folder, they aren't https://monosnap.com/file/gzTOy8ec1Kj...

BTW do I need to build it by myself? Why didn't opencv team built it and share it just like they did with "base" opencv here: http://opencv.org/downloads.html? I'm not a power user, I just want to use OpenCV in one of my projects.

"This repository is intended for development of so-called "extra" modules, contributed functionality. New modules quite often do not have stable API, and they are not well-tested. Thus, they shouldn't be released as a part of official OpenCV distribution, since the library maintains binary compatibility, and tries to provide decent performance and stability."

You have to :

Download opencv 3.2 unzip it (in C:\Users\Laurent.PC-LAURENT-VISI\Downloads\ on my computer)
git clone https://github.com/opencv/opencv_cont... ( in g:/lib on my computer)
run cmake GUI. give opencv path in where is source file (C:\Users\Laurent.PC-LAURENT-VISI\Downloads\opencv/sources
press configure
if you use VS2015 disable cuda (in build (12 check box)and with_cuda and withcufft )
give path to opencv_contrib/modules (where you clone it and don't forget modules g:/lib/opencv_contrib/modules)
generate
open project if you have vs and build solution (drink a coffee)

Now build face sample in opencv_contrib

run cmakeGUI
where is the source code = G:/Lib/opencv_contrib/modules/face/samples
where to build binaries = C:/Users/Laurent.PC-LAURENT-VISI/Downloads/opencv/sources/samples
fill all field like this
cmake cannot find opencv : give path C:\Users\Laurent.PC-LAURENT-VISI\Downloads\opencv\sources in cmake variables OpenCV_DIR

build project and no errors...

By saying run cmake give opencv path you mean typing in console cmake [path_to_opecv_source_folder]? By saying if you use VS2015 disable cuda (in build and with cmake variables) running command from point 3 with -D WITH_CUDA=OFF at the end? By saying give path to opencv_contrib/modules you mean opening cmake-gui with the same configuration as on first screenshot (source code and build destination are the same folders), finding OPENCV_EXTRA_MODULES_PATH and adding there modules folder from opencv_contrib`?

I'm asking, beacuse this is what I see https://monosnap.com/file/RIA0InYcVCA... , but maybe I didn't understood one of the points.
