Question

I am trying to use the OpenCV library for some image processing inside my Windows 8 Store app using C++/CX. I am able to build the OpenCV library using Visual C++ 2012 but

Answer 1

Disclaimer: I am 100% new to OpenCV as a library and just started to explore this today when I found some sample apps using OpenCV around Azure Cognitive Vision samples.

My only goal was to even see if "OpenCV was supported on UWP and works with ARM". I read a bunch of posts and blogs that were around since 2015+ and they were making me think this was not possible to get working.

Then I found this sample: https://github.com/Microsoft/Windows-universal-samples/tree/master/Samples/CameraOpenCV

And can confirm it works for my basic test, you can see my video here of ARM Pi 2 running UWP app, using the OpenCV library: https://twitter.com/LyalinDotCom/status/982830053355470848

not saying that this means all of OpenCV will just work but at least this test was a good sign and i wanted to share my early results here.
