Does anyone know if you can use the OpenCV library within the processing Android template? I want to do some image recognition/comparison for these devices within Processing. What are the means to do such? and does anyone have an example of source code for it? Thanks!

  • I'd suggest just trying it and seeing if it works. This is not a programming problem that you are stuck on, but something you can easily verify on your own. – Mike 'Pomax' Kamermans Jun 02 '13 at 12:43

The OpenCV library that you would normally use (http://ubaa.net/shared/processing/opencv/) will not work for Android.

However, Android has it's own port of OpenCV, which is available here: http://opencv.org/platforms/android.html

That being said, it is a little tricky to setup itself vis-a-vis Processing, particularly if you are using the PDE. If you are using Eclipse & Processing together, then this answer may be useful to you: OpenCV on Android Using Eclipse

One option I would recommend using the Ketai library (https://code.google.com/p/ketai/) to do the heavy lifting for you. It has a camera class and a face detection class...
