Android Application Programming with OpenCV 3

Overview of this book

<p>Android Application Programming with OpenCV 3 is a practical, hands-on guide to computer vision and mobile app development. It shows how to capture, manipulate, and analyze images while building an application that combines photography and augmented reality. To help the reader become a well-rounded developer, the book covers OpenCV (a computer vision library), Android SDK (a mobile app framework), OpenGL ES (a 3D graphics framework), and even JNI (a Java/C++ interoperability layer).</p> <p>Now in its second edition, the book offers thoroughly reviewed code, instructions, and explanations. It is fully updated to support OpenCV 3 and Android 5, as well as earlier versions. Although it focuses on OpenCV's Java bindings, this edition adds an extensive chapter on JNI and C++, so that the reader is well primed to use OpenCV in other environments.</p>

Adding the filters to CameraActivity


We will let the user have up to one channel mixing filter, one curve filter, and one convolution filter active at any time. For each filter category, we will provide a menu button that lets the user cycle through the available filters or no filter.

Let's start editing the relevant resource files to define the menu buttons and their text. We should add the following strings to res/values/strings.xml:

<string name="menu_next_curve_filter">Next Curve</string>
<string name="menu_next_mixer_filter">Next Mixer</string>
<string name="menu_next_convolution_filter">Next Kernel</string>

Then, we should edit res/menu/activity_camera.xml as follows:

<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
  <item
    android:id="@+id/menu_next_curve_filter"
    app:showAsAction="ifRoom|withText"
    android:title="@string/menu_next_curve_filter" />
  <item
    android:id="@+id/menu_next_mixer_filter"
    app...
