I can't run camshift demo in openCV

Question

I install openCV2.3.1 in VS2010. I can read image in openCV without any error. But when I run camshiftdemo from folder open/samples/cpp. It show this error.

And when I comment this line // RotatedRect trackBox = CamShift(backproj, trackWindow, TermCriteria( CV_TERMCRIT_EPS | CV_TERMCRIT_ITER, 10, 1 )); It no error.

In my another code it show error like this. This is my code for test meanshift

int main()
{
    // Read reference image
    cv::Mat image= cv::imread("Desert.jpg");
    if (!image.data)
        return 0; 

    // Define ROI
    cv::Mat imageROI= image(cv::Rect(110,260,35,40));
    cv::rectangle(image, cv::Rect(110,260,35,40),cv::Scalar(0,0,255));

    // Display image
    cv::namedWindow("Image");
    cv::imshow("Image",image);

    // Get the Hue histogram
    int minSat=65;
    ColorHistogram hc;
    //cv::MatND colorhist= hc.getHueHistogram(imageROI,minSat);

    ObjectFinder finder;
    //finder.setHistogram(colorhist);
    finder.setThreshold(0.2f);

    // Convert to HSV space
    cv::Mat hsv;
    cv::cvtColor(image, hsv, CV_BGR2HSV);

    // Split the image
    vector<cv::Mat> v;
    cv::split(hsv,v);

    // Eliminate pixels with low saturation
    cv::threshold(v[1],v[1],minSat,255,cv::THRESH_BINARY);
    cv::namedWindow("Saturation");
    cv::imshow("Saturation",v[1]);

    // Get back-projection of hue histogram
    int ch[1]={0};
    cv::Mat result= finder.find(hsv,0.0f,180.0f,ch,1);

    cv::namedWindow("Result Hue");
    cv::imshow("Result Hue",result);

    cv::bitwise_and(result,v[1],result);
    cv::namedWindow("Result Hue and");
    cv::imshow("Result Hue and",result);

    // Second image
    image= cv::imread("Desert.jpg");

    // Display image
    cv::namedWindow("Image 2");
    cv::imshow("Image 2",image);

    // Convert to HSV space
    cv::cvtColor(image, hsv, CV_BGR2HSV);

    // Split the image
    cv::split(hsv,v);

    // Eliminate pixels with low saturation
    cv::threshold(v[1],v[1],minSat,255,cv::THRESH_BINARY);
    cv::namedWindow("Saturation");
    cv::imshow("Saturation",v[1]);

    // Get back-projection of hue histogram
    result= finder.find(hsv,0.0f,180.0f,ch,1);

    cv::namedWindow("Result Hue");
    cv::imshow("Result Hue",result);

    // Eliminate low stauration pixels
    cv::bitwise_and(result,v[1],result);
    cv::namedWindow("Result Hue and");
    cv::imshow("Result Hue and",result);

    // Get back-projection of hue histogram
    finder.setThreshold(-1.0f);
    result= finder.find(hsv,0.0f,180.0f,ch,1);
    cv::bitwise_and(result,v[1],result);
    cv::namedWindow("Result Hue and raw");
    cv::imshow("Result Hue and raw",result);

    cv::Rect rect(110,260,35,40);
    cv::rectangle(image, rect, cv::Scalar(0,0,255));

    cv::TermCriteria criteria(cv::TermCriteria::MAX_ITER,10,0.01);
//  cout << "meanshift= " << cv::meanShift(result,rect,criteria) << endl;

    cv::rectangle(image, rect, cv::Scalar(0,255,0));

    // Display image
    cv::namedWindow("Image 2 result");
    cv::imshow("Image 2 result",image);

    cv::waitKey();
    return 0;
}

when I run this code it show this error.

Answer 1

The CamShift and meanShift methods are part of the video\tracking module so you probably forgot to link the opencv_videoXXX.lib
