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>

Finding the documentation and help


The OpenCV Java API and C++ API are both relevant to Android. The Java API documentation is online at http://docs.opencv.org/java/, and an index of OpenCV4Android resources is online at http://opencv.org/platforms/android.html. The C++ API documentation is online at http://docs.opencv.org/. The following documents, which mostly use C++ code, are also available as downloadable PDF files:

If the documentation does not seem to answer your question, try talking to the OpenCV community. Here are some sites where you will find helpful people:

Also, you can read or submit bug reports at http://code.opencv.org/projects/opencv/issues?query_id=4. Finally, if you need to take your issue to the highest authority, you can e-mail the OpenCV4Android developers at .
