Visual Studio

In my previous tutorial, I outlined how to build the OpenCV 4 library on Microsoft Windows 10. In that tutorial, however, I did not mention how to use that library in an actual project. This time around I will be showing you how to create an OpenCV 4 project within Microsoft Visual Studio 2017.

Please note that I am going to assume that your OpenCV install is set up in the way I outlined in my previous tutorial. That is to say that the necessary files are located within an OpenCV folder in your C:\ drive. If this is not the case you’ll have to make some minor modifications to the steps outlined here to suit your setup.

Let’s get started!
