Documentation
The vision_opencv stack provides packaging of the popular OpenCV library for ROS. For information about the OpenCV library, please see the OpenCV main page at http://opencv.org/ links to complete documentation for OpenCV, as well as other OpenCV resources (like the bug tracker on http://code.opencv.org/)
For OpenCV vision_opencv provides several packages:
cv_bridge: Bridge between ROS messages and OpenCV.
image_geometry: Collection of methods for dealing with image and pixel geometry
In order to use ROS with OpenCV, please see the cv_bridge package.
As of electric, OpenCV is a system dependency.
Using OpenCV in your ROS code
You just need to add a dependency on opencv2 and find_package it in your CMakeLists.txt as you would for any third party package:
find_package(OpenCV)
include_directories(${OpenCV_INCLUDE_DIRS})
target_link_libraries(my_awesome_library ${OpenCV_LIBRARIES})
Report an OpenCV specific Bug
If your issue is related to the OpenCV packaged in ROS (it is too old, you would like to see a backport in there ...), please file a bug for vision_opencv using the link provided at the top of this page.
For issues specific to OpenCV:
Send your question to the OpenCV Answers.
