OpenCV + Java = UnsatisfiedLinkError

Question

I need capture a video stream from my USB webcam, for this i use Opencv 2.4.6 for developing in Java. I follow the steps listed in here

I add the \"C:\\opencv\\build

Answer 1

Try the below code

import org.opencv.core.CvType; import org.opencv.core.Mat;

import nu.pattern.OpenCV;

public class OpencvMain {

public static void main( String[] args )
   {

      OpenCV.loadLocally();
      Mat mat = Mat.eye( 3, 3, CvType.CV_8UC1 );
      System.out.println( "mat = " + mat.dump() );
   }

}

Answer 2

For general users using opencv3.x:

HighGUI module does not exist anymore in Java for opencv 3.0 and above.

import org.opencv.videoio.VideoCapture;

instead of

import org.opencv.highgui.VideoCapture;

videoio includes VideoCapture, VideoWriter.

Similarly:

imgcodecs includes imread/imwrite and friends

Example:

Highgui.imread(fileName)

-->

 Imgcodecs.imread(fileName)

Answer 3

in your second example , you skipped this line

 System.loadLibrary(Core.NATIVE_LIBRARY_NAME);

so the opencv libs werent loaded, UnsatisfiedLinkError, etc...

[edit]:

thanks to @Jishnu Prathap for highlighting the java.library path issue, if you run into problems setting that, you can still try to use an absolute path to the java wrapper so/dll/dylib like:

 System.load("/path to/our/java_wrapper");

Answer 4

So, I was having this problem too and I did what you all suggested, it worked fine in my x64 windows, but in a x86 couldn't make it work.

At last I found a solution by changing:

VideoCapture capture = new VideoCapture(0);

for

    VideoCapture capture = new VideoCapture();
    capture.open("resources/vid.MP4");

I don't know why this worked but I hope it may help somebody with my same problem.

Answer 5

I had a similar error while using OpenCV with java.I did 2 things to resolve it.

1. static{ System.loadLibrary(Core.NATIVE_LIBRARY_NAME); }
2. I added the path to OpenCV dll or .so to javalibpath or path. which actually didnt work for some reason and i ended up putting the OpenCV dll in the system32 folder.
