OpenCV 3.1 with XIMEA support

OpenCV 3 is amazing for accessing XIMEA cameras. However, there’s still the lack of a pre-built library of OpenCV 3, especially 3.1, with XIMEA support. Here, I provide you a pre-built package of OpenCV 3.1 built with XIMEA for Python 2.7  and Python 3.5 for Windows machines.

Please note: I compiled OpenCV using Visual Studio Community Edition 2015 (i.e. VS14). Further, it is compiled for 64bit machines.

Use the cv2.pyd for Python 2.7.x and cv2.cp35-win_amd64.pyd for Python 3.5.x.

Here’s the file list:

  • cv2.cp35-win_amd64.pyd
  • cv2.pyd
  • opencv_calib3d310.dll
  • opencv_core310.dll
  • opencv_features2d310.dll
  • opencv_ffmpeg310_64.dll
  • opencv_flann310.dll
  • opencv_highgui310.dll
  • opencv_imgcodecs310.dll
  • opencv_imgproc310.dll
  • opencv_ml310.dll
  • opencv_objdetect310.dll
  • opencv_photo310.dll
  • opencv_shape310.dll
  • opencv_stitching310.dll
  • opencv_superres310.dll
  • opencv_video310.dll
  • opencv_videoio310.dll
  • opencv_videostab310.dll

Again, cv2.pyd or the cv2.cp35-win_amd64.pyd for Python 2.7.x or Python 3.5.x, respectively, and all of the dll files except opencv_ffmpeg310_64.dll go to INSTALL_FOLDER/Lib/site-packages, the ffmpeg dll directly to the INSTALL_FOLDER.

Please note, that you properly need the XIMEA XiAPI for proper function! I needed to download the XiAPI Beta Package (thanks to the XIMEA support) even for building OpenCV 3.1. If you’d like to build it yourself with XIMEA support, please note that you have to change some files.

And here is the full building information:
