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 tracker filters to CameraActivity


To use instances of ImageDetectionFilter, we make the same kind of modifications to CameraActivity that we did to the other filters in the previous chapter. Recall that all our filter classes implement the Filter interface so that CameraActivity can use them all in similar ways.

First, we need to define some text (for the menu button) in res/values/strings.xml:

  <string name="menu_next_image_detection_filter">Next
    Tracker</string>

Next, we need to define the menu button itself in res/menu/activity_camera.xml:

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

The rest of our modifications pertain to CameraActivity.java. We need to add new member variables...
