hey thanks for this video

but can you please share the code you used in this video

[W3bbo2]

@lostinglory The code used in this video has been mangled so much it doesn't exist anymore in the same way you see it in the video. But there's plenty of sample code out there that shows how to do tracking with OpenCV.

Hi there, nice walktrough!

I'm having a problem with my application though. When I compile my code in debug mode, everything works fine. However, the .exe file can't run on other computers (.dll files included). I've been told that I have to compile it in release mode to be able to run my application on other computers, but the compiling fails. I get loads of errors... Any idea what might be the problem?

@erca1 I suggest you re-ask your question on StackOverflow or the OpenCV forum, and be sure to post the error messages you're getting.

Hey W3bbo,

Thanks for the video!

How do you capture the screen and do these neat zoom-ins?

Thanks again!

[W3bbo2]

@juncode Camtasia Studio, it does the zoom-ins automatically based on where your mouse is, though you can override this manually.

Hi, this video was of a great help in getting started, can u do a similar video for OpenCV 2.2 in VS2008. A lot of features have changed, it has different include files and something abt cmake. It would be a huge help for the ppl getting started. Thanks

@Darkmist62 .

Hi I have the same problem, and when I run the program, I get the error "This application was unable to start correctly".

I would appreciate it, if you could let me know how I can cope this problem.

Hey, Gr8 Job. Helped lot. The problem I am having is that my code runs in debug mode but when i exit it by pressing esc(I have used cvGetKey()) then it gives errors like OpenCV error:bad argument(unrecognized or unsupported array types in unknown function, files ....sumthing sumthing ....\cxcore\cxarray.cpp line 991.

in the debug window I have:

irst-chance exception at 0x7c812afb in compvis.exe: Microsoft C++ exception: cv::Exception at memory location 0x0011f790..

Do u know anyhting abt it?
