Cross-platform!

Supports

• Windows, Linux , MacOS
• node 12,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21
• electron 8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,22,23,24,25
• currently arh x64 (possible M1, arm64 and others if were available hosts with the type of processes)

How to install

npm i opencv4nodejs-prebuilt-install

check supporting platforms and processes!

• prebuilt in node_modules/opencv4nodejs-prebuilt-install/build

Quick Start with prebuild

const cv = require('opencv4nodejs-prebuilt-install');

With TypeScript

import * as cv from 'opencv4nodejs-prebuilt-install'

Local compiling

Set your own properties inside of package.json for opencv4nodejs up to 4.6.0 depends on necessary versions and flags

  "opencv4nodejs": {
    "autoBuildWithoutContrib": 1,
    "autoBuildOpencvVersion": "4.1.1",
    "autoBuildFlags": "-DBUILD_opencv_world=1 -DBUILD_LIST=core,highgui,videoio -DOPENCV_FORCE_3RDPARTY_BUILD=ON -DBUILD_PNG=ON -DBUILD_TIFF=ON -DBUILD_JASPER=ON -DBUILD_JPEG=ON -DBUILD_ZLIB=ON -DBUILD_OPENEXR=ON -DWITH_FFMPEG=OFF -DWITH_GSTREAMER=ON -DBUILD_USE_SYMLINKS=OFF -DWITH_VTK=OFF",
    "disableAutoBuild": 1
  },

• Then for building opencv for current processor

npm run create_opencvlib

Result in folder osOpencvWorlds/*/*.tar

• and then for building opencv for current node with have been prepared files for processor

npm run create_opencvnode_prebuild

Result in folder opencv/build/bin for windows or in opencv/build/lib for linux and darwin

Add bindings to native methods of opencv

Create fork of the repo and add necessary changes then create poll request to the repo and i will recreate libs

For example i was able to add method invert recently

• added to core.cc

Nan::SetMethod(target, "invert", Invert);
Nan::SetMethod(target, "invertAsync", InvertAsync);

NAN_METHOD(Core::Invert) {
 FF::syncBinding("Core", "Invert", info);
}

NAN_METHOD(Core::InvertAsync) {
 FF::asyncBinding("Core", "Invert", info);
}

• added to core.h

 static NAN_METHOD(Invert);
 static NAN_METHOD(InvertAsync);

• added to coreBinding.h

 class Invert : public CvClassMethodBinding {
 public:
  void createBinding(std::shared_ptr> self) {
         auto flags = opt("flags", 0);
   auto dst = ret("dst");

   executeBinding = [=]() {
    cv::invert(self->ref(), dst->ref(), flags->ref());
   };
  };
 };

• added to cv.d.ts

export function invert(mat: Mat, flags?: number): Mat;
export function invertAsync(mat: Mat, flags?: number): Promise;
