A question about integrating OpenCV into Android

By snowind on Wed, 06/20/2012 - 17:03
Hi, I am trying to integrating face detection using OpenCV into Android camera and I have scan the dev guide and related documentation. But I do not totally understand what is QCAR. Does it mix the virtual and real thing together? Can it help accelerate my project of integration? If so, how? Thanks in advance

If you run the ImageTargets sample without modifying it you should see a teapot rendered on the included "chips" and "stones" targets when you point your phone at the print out of these targets. When you download new tracking files from the "My Trackables" system, be sure to place the files in your

OpenCV is not integrated in any way, that is something you would have to do yourself. QCAR needs to connect to the internet at least once (per application) to download device settings. After that you should be able to run it offline. - Kim

Most of QCAR is closed-source, you cannot change the internet requirements and you cannot get access to the camera frame pipeline. In native code (C++) you can get access to the camera image used for that frame.
