Dependency: opencv

---

This optional library is used for almost everything related to computer vision in MRPT. Even MRPT-specific computer vision functions or classes cannot work without OpenCV since the basic structure for holding images is OpenCV's IplImage.

If not present, the following classes will raise an exception upon usage:

• mrpt::img::CImage. Note that creating mrpt::img::CImage objects in the "external storage mode" will not raise an exception unless you really access the image contents.
• Everything needing access to an image (loading, saving, processing, etc.).
