Red OpenCV

Red OpenCV is a Ruby bindings of OpenCV. Red OpenCV is based on GObject Introspection.

OpenCV is a computer vision library.

GObject Introspection is a middleware for language bindings of C library. GObject Introspection can generate language bindings automatically at runtime.

Red OpenCV uses OpenCV GLib and gobject-introspection gem to generate Ruby bindings of OpenCV.

OpenCV GLib is a C wrapper for OpenCV. GObject Introspection can't use OpenCV directly because OpenCV uses C++. OpenCV GLib is a bridge between OpenCV and GObject Introspection.

gobject-introspection gem is a Ruby bindings of GObject Introspection. Red OpenCV uses GObject Introspection via gobject-introspection gem.

Install OpenCV GLib before install Red OpenCV. Use packages.red-data-tools.org for installing OopenCV GLib.

Install Red OpenCV after you install OpenCV GLib:

% gem install red-opencv

require "cv"
