Object Tracking on a Moving Platform

Download OpenCV 4.0

Install OpenCV 4.0 From https://opencv.org/releases/
Include OpenCV to system path
Go to Advanced System Settings > Environment Variables >System Variables > Path.
Choose Edit, click 'New' to add environment variable.
Copy Paste the path of bin folder. The path: C:\opencv\build\x64\vc14\bin.

Inside Properties of the project,

Inside C/C++ > General
Copy the path to include the folder of OpenCV, inside Additional Include Directories: C:\opencv\build\include
Inside Linker>General
Copy the path to include the folder containing lib folder inside Additional Include Directories: C:\opencv\build\x64\vc14\lib
Input
Edit Input> Additional Dependencies and paste the .lib file' name eg. opencv_world410d.lib

Build OpenCV Contrib

cd <opencv_build_directory>
cmake -DOPENCV_EXTRA_MODULES_PATH=C:/opencv_contrib-4.1.0/modules C:/opencv/sources  -G

Open OpenCV Solution inside Opencv/build/ to build project
```
Build ALL_BUILD
Build INSTALL
```
Add environment variable for OpenCV_Contrib
C:\opencv\build\install\x64\vc16\bin
Problem
Python3.7_d.lib linked error.
Fix
Install Python 3.7 x64 version with debug mode.
Choose Building platform correctly => Debug x64 in OpenCV\sources\modules\python\python3, edit CMakeLists.txt:
```
link_directories(C:/python37/libs)
```

Inside Properties of the project in Visual Studio

Inside C/C++ > General
Copy the path to include the folder of OpenCV, inside Additional Include Directories: C:\opencv\build\install\include
Inside linker>General
Copy the path to include the folder containing lib folder inside Additional Include Directories: C:\opencv\build\install\x64\vc16\lib
Input
Edit Input > Additional Dependencies and paste the .lib file' name eg. In this project we use:
opencv_world410d.lib;opencv_xfeatures2d410d.lib;opencv_features2d410d.lib;opencv_tracking410d.lib

OpenCV includes eigen error:

C++ template library for linear algebra (high level)
Download: http://bitbucket.org/eigen/eigen/get/3.3.7.zip
Project properties -> C/C++ -> General -> Additional Include Directories add Eigen library root: C:\Program Files (x86)\Eigen
For example:

    #include <Eigen/Dense>
    #include <eigen/src/lu/InverseImpl.h>
    #include <Eigen/Eigenvalues>

DataFormat

OpenCV Window and Window conflict

Cause by putting using name space cv in header;
If need to define cv in header: use cv:: in font of class name
Put using namespace cv; inside cpp file
