Opencv import highgui in android studio is showing error.Cannot resolve(I added the library still the error remain)

Question

I have the following code which is for image segmentation using grabcut opencv. I am using opencv for the first time. I added the opencv library. While others worked perfectly highgui is still showing cannot resolve symbol.Do i need to add something else. (If you can help me with the code too, will be an additional help) Here is the code: Edit : I have posted the updated code:

Metagenesis

Answer 1

In opencv3.0, there is no more highgui module in java.

the functionality was split up into new videoio and imgcodecs (that's where you will find imread) modules.

import org.opencv.core.*;
import org.opencv.imgcodecs; // imread, imwrite, etc
import org.opencv.videoio;   // VideoCapture

EDIT: Change img=Highgui.imread(pathtoimage); to img = Imgcodecs.imread(pathtoimage);

and Core.rectangle(img, tl, br, color); to Imgproc.rectangle(img, t1, br, color);

I will also suggest go through OpenCV 3.0 modules to resolve these errors.

Exception or can someone help me in this matter, I really need to do this. #61876957 – Carmon

Answer 2

Depending on the file structure it may instead be:

import org.opencv.imgcodecs.Imgcodecs;

Cicely

Answer 3

There is no Highgui module in OpenCV 3.0+ instead you can use the same Imgcodecs module

The old one

Highgui.imread(fileName, Highgui.CV_LOAD_IMAGE_GRAYSCALE)
Highgui.imread(fileName)

The New one

Imgcodecs.imread(fileName, Imgcodecs.CV_LOAD_IMAGE_GRAYSCALE)
Imgcodecs.imread(fileName)
