Use Emgu CV, the OpenCV wrapper, in Ubuntu 18

The version of the compiled shared library is 3.4.1. The wrapper is compiled without GTK+ 3.0, therefore all the features of OpenCV that use this graphic library are not working. This is due to the fact that the Windows Forms in Mono have GTK+ 2 as dependency, which is not compatible with the third version.

Installation

  1. Download the compiled version of Emgu CV shared library from https://www.dropbox.com/s/6h39g9bq2bl3rxj/libcvextern-3.4.1.zip?dl=0
  2. Extract the archive and put libcvextern.so in the /usr/lib directory
  3. Set root as the owner of the library with sudo chown root:root /usr/lib/libcvextern.so (Optional)

Usage

To compile a .NET application using Emgu CV add Emgu.CV.World.dll and Emgu.CV.UI.dll to the references of the project. Before running the application copy the two dlls in the directory of the binary.
