Plan to make OpenCV available on Windows 8 RT ARM platform
Recently, we are using OpenCV face detection and face tracking, under Windows 8 RT platform. So far, there are some Windows 8 certification issues. Quite a number of modifications are needed, to make the final piece of software able to pass Windows 8 certification test, and submit it to Windows App Store. Here are some modifications which I had made.
- Avoid using
imwrite. It is using quite a number of APIs prohibited in Windows 8 RT. Please refer to http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13382442/save-char-array-as-jpg-for-c-windows-store-app - Use
InitializeCriticalSectionEx, as replacement forInitializeCriticalSection
Thing works pretty fine right now. We able to produce a piece of software which runs on x86 and x64 platforms. Here is the software if you ask : http://apptivate.ms/apps/78/whats-my-heart-rate (Vote if you like :)
But, we are not able to make it works under ARM platform. This is because, we fail to compile a copy of OpenCV for ARM platform. This is due to

Any plan for OpenCV team to produce a binary copy, which is available on Windows 8 RT ARM platform?
hey Yan, Could I ask you about how to load image into Mat class ?, I found imread also can't use too! Thanks!
Sorry. Never try to load an image from file so far in Windows 8. But, I manage to write image to file in Windows. Please refer to http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13382442/save-char-array-as-jpg-for-c-windows-store-app Hope it helps. You're right. imread and imwrite both are not workable in Windows 8.
Hi, man I'm trying to make it work (face detection) in Windows 8, but have no success, can you give me some guidance on how to implement a simple face detection?? Thanks in advance.
