What is CvComposer

CvComposer is a graphical interface to OpenCV functions. It allows you to combine many processing functions and see the effect in real-time. It may be used to :

  • Learn OpenCV by watching the effect of a single function
  • Design complex algorithms by combining functions
  • Fine-tune parameters (thresholds, kernel sizes, ...)

It uses a classic graph structure with drag and drop to let you create complex algorithms easily : Ĝlobal screenshot

How to use

General use

The "Processors" list (on the left by default) contains all the functions currently implemented in CvComposer. Just drag and drop a processor to the work area to add it. Then connect different processors by their plug to fill the input of a function with the output of the previous one.

Data types

Each processor plug can accept one or many data types, for example an image, a number, a rectangle, a contour, ... Each data type is represented by a color. Some input plugs accept only a single type, and some accept many. They may also contain a * to indicate that they can work with lists : for example, the "Find contours" functions outputs a list of contours, and the "Draw shape" functions inputs a list of many possible shapes : Types screenshot

Help

Each processor has a help icon on the top-right : when you click on it, it gives you access to the online documentation of the function(s) used by the processor, and if available, the associates tutorial : Help screenshot

Inputs

On the very left of your graph, you should have some data source to fill your algorithm with. It can be a single image, a folder containing multiple images, or a camera : Input screenshot
