In this tutorial you will learn how to install ViSP from source on Windows 10 with Visual C++. These steps have been tested on Windows 10 (64 bit), with CMake 3.19.4 and Visual Studio 2015.
Install Visual Studio 2015. After the installation, start Visual Studio and create an empty C++ project to install the common tools for Visual C++ 2015. The next image shows which are the workloads that we enable:
Then install Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) for Windows 10. This SDK could be downloaded from https://dev.windows.com/en-US/downloads/windows-10-sdk. This SDK is requested by ViSP and allows also to get the Graphical Device Interface (GDI) capabilities. The GDI is used in ViSP to display images in a window thanks to vpDisplayGDI class.
CMake could be download from http://www.cmake.org. Download the latest release for Windows win64-x64 platform (at the time this tuto was written it was the file cmake-3.19.4-win64-x64.msi). To install just double click on the msi file.
Install Git for Windows from https://git-for-windows.github.io/. This installation allows then to use git in a cmd Command Prompt.
If not already done, create a workspace that will contain all ViSP source, build, data set and optional 3rd parties. This workspace is here set to C:\visp-ws folder, but it could be set to any other location.
To create the workspace, open a cmd Command Prompt (a fast way to launch this window is to press the Win + R keys on your keyboard. Then, type cmd or cmd.exe and press Enter or click/tap OK) and run the following to create a workspace environment var named VISP_WS:
C:\> setx VISP_WS "C:\visp-ws" C:\> exit
Open a new cmd Command Prompt and create the corresponding folder
C:\> mkdir %VISP_WS% C:\> exit
In this section, we give minimal instructions to build ViSP from source just to try ViSP without entering in 4. Advanced ViSP installation.
C:\> cd %VISP_WS% C:\> git clone https://github.com/lagadic/visp.git
C:\> mkdir visp-build-vc14 C:\> cd visp-build-vc14
C:\> cmake -G "Visual Studio 14 2015" -A "x64" ..\visp
C:\> cmake --build . --config Release --target install
C:\> setx VISP_DIR "%VISP_WS%\visp-build-vc14\install" C:\> exit
To have a trial, just jump to 5. Install ViSP dataset before running some binaries that you just build or jump to 7. Next tutorial. You can later come back to the 4. Advanced ViSP installation.
ViSP is interfaced with several 3rd party libraries. Follow the link to see the complete list of Supported Third-Party Libraries. To use optimized matrix operations you may install 4.1.2. Eigen3. We recommend also to install 4.1.1. OpenCV in the workspace. If you have an Intel Realsense depth camera you may also install 4.1.3. librealsense. If your camera is a PointGrey you may install 4.1.5. FlyCapture, while if your camera is a Basler, you may rather install 4.1.6. Pylon. If you want to be able to detect a QR code you may install 4.1.8. zbar. Other 3rd parties are optional and should be considered only by expert developers.
4.1.1.1. Get OpenCV
First you have to get OpenCV:
4.1.1.2. Complete OpenCV installation
Now you have to complete OpenCV installation setting some environment vars:
C:\> setx OpenCV_DIR "%VISP_WS%\3rdparty\opencv-4.5.1\build" C:\> exitwhere %VISP_WS%\3rdparty\opencv-4.5.1\build is where you have installed OpenCV. Inside this folder you should have a file named OpenCVConfig.cmake.
4.1.2.1. Build and install Eigen3 from source
C:\> cd %VISP_WS%\3rdparty\eigen-3.3.9 C:\> mkdir build-vc14 && cd build-vc14
C:\> cmake -G "Visual Studio 14 2016" -A "x64" .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=%VISP_WS%\3rdparty\eigen-3.3.9\build-vc14\install
C:\> cmake --build . --config Release --target install
4.1.2.2. Complete Eigen3 installation
Now you have to complete Eigen3 installation setting some environment vars:
C:\> setx Eigen3_DIR "%VISP_WS%\3rdparty\eigen-3.3.9\build-vc14\install\share\eigen3\cmake" C:\> exitwhere %VISP_WS%\3rdparty\eigen-3.3.9\build-vc14\install is where you have installed Eigen3. Inside the folder %VISP_WS%\3rdparty\eigen-3.3.9\build-vc14\install\share\eigen3\cmake you should have a file named Eigen3Config.cmake.
I you have an Intel RealSense Depth camera (SR300 or D400 series), you may install librealsense 2.x in order to use vpRealSense2 class. Otherwise you can skip this section.
4.1.3.1. Install Intel Realsense SDK 2.0
Intel Realsense SDK 2.0 contains librealsense. To install this SDK:
4.1.3.2. Complete Intel Realsense SDK 2.0 installation
To finalize the installation, add the location of realsense2.dll library in the Path environment variable. Open the "Edit environment variable" UI, and modify Path to add a new line with C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel RealSense SDK 2.0\bin\x64.
Point Cloud Library (PCL) library could be installed to extend vpRealSense2 capabilities to acquire a point cloud. It could be also used to consider a point cloud as depth feature in the generic model-based tracker when using vpMbGenericTracker class. If you don't have an Intel Realsense Depth camera (SR300 or D400 series) or if you are not interested in model-based tracking using depth as feature you can skip this section.
4.1.4.1. Install PCL from all-in-one installer
There exists in https://github.com/PointCloudLibrary/pcl/releases all-in-one installer that allows to install PCL and third-parties easily. Be careful to use the version that match your compiler. For Visual Studio 14 2015:
4.1.4.2. Complete PCL installation
To finalize the installation, add the location of pcl_common_<debug|release>.dll and OpenNI2.dll libraries in the Path environment variable. Open the "Edit environment variable" UI, and modify Path to add respectively:
I you have a PointGrey or FLIR USB 2.0, USB 3.0, GigE or FireWire camera (DragonFly2, Flea3...), you may install FlyCapture. Otherwise you can skip this section.
Complete installation instructions are given here. We recap hereafter the main instructions to install FlyCapture SDK under Windows:
If you have a Basler FireWire, Camera Link, GigE or USB3.0 camera, you may install Pylon SDK. Otherwise you can skip this section.
To install Pylon:
If you have an IDS camera you may install IDS Software Suite for uEye cameras. To this end:
Once downloaded, you may extract the archive.
Open the README file readme-ids-software-suite-win-*.html and check compatibility list
IDS Software Suite has been tested with the following Windows 10 version:
- Edition: Windows 10 Pro
Version: 1909
Version: 2004
If the Software Suite is compatible with your OS, proceed to the installation:
To test the Software Suite installation, plug a camera, enter "Start" menu and run "IDS > uEyeDirectShow Demo" binary.
IDS uEye Camera Software Suite installation enables vpUeyeGrabber class usage.
If you want to work with QR codes (see Tutorial: Bar code detection), we recommend to install zbar 3rd party. Otherwise you can skip this section.
To install zbar you need to build the library from source. There is a fork of the library available from GitHub https://github.com/dani4/ZBarWin64 and adapted for compiling under Visual following the steps:
4.1.8.1. Get zbar
C:\> cd %VISP_WS% C:\> git clone https://github.com/dani4/ZBarWin64
4.1.8.2. Build zbar from source
4.1.8.3. Complete zbar installation
C:\> setx ZBAR_DIR "%VISP_WS%\ZBarWin64" C:\> exit
There are different ways to get ViSP source code.
C:\> cd %VISP_WS% C:\> git clone https://github.com/lagadic/visp.git
We suppose now that ViSP source is in %VISP_WS%\visp.
The goal of the configuration step is now to use CMake to produce a Visual Studio C++ solution file that will be located in %VISP_WS%/visp-build-vc14.
CMake Warning at CMakeLists.txt:1156 (message): Eigen3 config file is detected in C:/visp-ws/3rdparty/eigen-3.3.7/build-vc14. Using C:/visp-ws/3rdparty/eigen-3.3.7/build-vc14/Eigen3Config.cmake doesn't allow to use a valid Eigen3 include dir: C://include/eigen3. Modify Eigen3_DIR to point to Eigen3Config.cmake file located in Eigen3 installation folder or turn USE_EIGEN3 OFF.We strongly recommend to fix this warning. To this end:
To build ViSP documentation, you have first to install Doxygen:
C:\> cd %VISP_WS%\visp-build-vc14
C:\> cmake -G "Visual Studio 14 2015" -A "x64" %VISP_WS%\visp
C:\> cmake --build . --config Release --target visp_doc
The generated documentation is then available in $VISP_WS/visp-build-vc14/doc/html/index.html
C:\> npm install mathjax C:\> cmake -G "Visual Studio 14 2015" -A "x64" %VISP_WS%\visp -DUSE_MATHJAX=ON C:\> cmake --build . --config Release --target visp_doc
C:\> cmake -G "Visual Studio 14 2015" -A "x64" %VISP_WS%\visp -DENABLE_FULL_DOC=ON C:\> cmake --build . --config Release --target visp_doc
Modify the Path var to add the path to ViSP dll libraries. To this end open the "Edit environment variable" UI, and modify Path to add a new line with %VISP_WS%\visp-build-vc14\install\x64\vc14\bin.
In order to ease ViSP detection by CMake when ViSP is used as a 3rd party in an external project, like the one described in the Tutorial: How to create and build a project that uses ViSP and CMake on Unix or Windows, you may set VISP_DIR environment variable with the path to the VISPConfig.cmake file:
C:\> setx VISP_DIR "%VISP_WS%\visp-build-vc14\install" C:\> exit
Some ViSP examples and tests require a data set that contains images, video, models that is not part of ViSP source code. This data set is available in Github (https://github.com/lagadic/visp-images) or as a release in a separate archive named visp-images-x.y.z.zip. This archive could be downloaded from https://visp.inria.fr/download page. Note that ViSP tutorials are not using ViSP data set.
We give hereafter the two ways to get this data set:
C:\> setx VISP_INPUT_IMAGE_PATH %VISP_WS%\visp-images-3.6.0 C:\> exit
C:\> cd %VISP_WS% C:\> git clone https://github.com/lagadic/visp-images.git
C:\> setx VISP_INPUT_IMAGE_PATH %VISP_WS%\visp-images C:\> exit
From now, you can try to run ViSP examples and tests. For example, if you want to run %VISP_WS%\visp-build-vc15\example\device\display\Release\displayGDI.exe, open a cmd Command Prompt, enter in the right folder and run:
C:\> cd %VISP_WS%\visp-build-vc15\example\device\display\Release C:\> displayGDI.exe A click to close the windows... A click to display a cross... Cross position: 392, 306 A click to exit the program... Bye
If one of the following command lines are not working:
C:\> nmake C:\> cl
it may possible that you have more then one Visual Studio version installed on your system.
To select Visual Studio 2015 (vc14) you may open a cmd Command Prompt, enter in the corresponding Visual Studio folder and run vcvarsall.bat:
C:\> cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC C:\> vcvarsall.bat
Since all 3rd parties are optional you may have started to install only some of them. Imagine that you just installed a new third-party, or that you upgraded the version of this 3rd party. The next step is to go back to the build folder, configure ViSP with CMake to detect the newly installed third-party library and build again ViSP. This could be achieved with:
$ cd $VISP_WS/visp-build-msvc14 $ cmake ../visp
Here you can check the content of the ViSP-third-party.txt file and see if the newly installed 3rd party is well detected.
Finally, you need to rebuild and install ViSP with:
$ cmake --build . --config Release --target install
After ViSP installation, you can remove installed material using:
$ cd $VISP_WS/visp-build-msvc14 $ cmake --build . --config Release --target uninstall
If you want to build only ViSP modules libraries, nor the examples, tutorials and tests:
$ cd $VISP_WS/visp-build-msvc14 $ cmake --build . --config Release --target visp_modules
If you want to build a given module and all the dependencies:
$ cd $VISP_WS/visp-build-msvc14 $ cmake --build . --config Release --target visp_<module_name>
For example to build the model-based tracker module named mbt, run:
$ cd $VISP_WS/visp-build-msvc14 $ cmake --build . --config Release --target visp_mbt
To see which are the optional 3rd parties that are found during the configuration stage and that will be used by ViSP during the build you can have a look to the text file named ViSP-third-party.txt and located in $VISP_WS/visp-build. We provide hereafter an example of a possible content of this file that contains also build info.
$ type $VISP_WS/visp-build-vc14/ViSP-third-party.txt

At the end of the Intel Realsense SDK installation process or when running Intel Realsense Viewer, if you get the following error message:
Program terminated due to an unrecoverable SEH exception: Illegal CPU instruction! Possibly newer CPU architecture is required
it means that your CPU is too old to support a recent version of the Intel Realsense SDK. A workaround is to install an older version. In our case installing Intel.RealSense.SDK-WIN10-2.32.1.1297.exe does the trick.
You are now ready to see the next Tutorial: How to create and build a project that uses ViSP and CMake on Unix or Windows that will show you how to use ViSP as a 3rd party to build your own project.
