Following a number of questions that appear before me every now and then, I decided to write a post about using CMake to create and build projects using Qt5 and OpenCV 3. For those of you who are qmake fans, using CMake doesn’t mean you can’t use Qt Creator to create and build your projects. In fact, after the release of more recent versions of Qt Creator, CMake support is getting better and better, and it’s fair to say that using CMake with Qt Creator 4.5.1 is almost as easy as using qmake.

In this post I’ll share an example project that describes how to load and view 3D models using Qt (such as Blender files and so on). The source codes here are tested with Qt 5.9.4 which was released a few days ago.

In this post I’ll describe how to combine the power of Qt and OpenCV to develop a good looking and fun object detector. The method explained here contains quite a few things to learn and use in your current and future projects, so let’s get started.

In this post I’ll share a method you can use to access and read events in Windows operating system, using C++. Note that this method is modified to be used with Qt, but you can easily replace the few Qt classes used in this example and remove the dependency on Qt if you are using any other frameworks. In any case, this method relies on Win32 APIs and will work only on Windows operating system.

As we are nearing the publication date of my upcoming book (titled Computer Vision with OpenCV 3 and Qt5), my Amazon Author page is now also reachable using the following link:
Thanks Amazon for this literally short link!
How to Build Qt 5.9.2 Static Using MinGW
You can follow the instructions below to build Qt 5.9.2 from sources using MinGW, and statically. To be able to proceed further, you need to make sure you have all the prerequisites on your PC, which are mentioned in this post, then return here.Assuming that you have taken care of all the requirements, you can start by downloading MinGW and Qt 5.9.2 source codes, or take the better and “recommended” route and simply download both of them using the Qt 5.9.2 all-in-one installer for Windows.

It is one thing to become an author, but it is totally another level of joy, to be published by my most favorite publisher in the computer science industry. So, it is with great pleasure that today I can announce that my upcoming book about OpenCV and Qt is available for preordering on Amazon, and also from PacktPub. It’s titled “Computer Vision with OpenCV 3 and Qt5”, and it aims to teach both computer vision and application development for developers who are familiar with C++ (on an intermediate level), but want to learn about powerful cross-platform frameworks such as Qt and OpenCV with hands-on examples and clear instructions. The book is in its final stages of completion, so I’m also excited to announce that our goal is to make it available by the beginning of 2018 and we are working hard to make it happen. Here are the links to preorder:

How to Build Qt From Source Codes
In this post you’ll find information about how to build Qt from source. We’ll be building the latest version of Qt, released about a week ago, using its source codes, both dynamically and statically and with various customized configurations. So without further ado, let’s start.

دمی سرگرم این، سرگرم آن، غافل منم من
چو این نکته به جان و دل خرم، آسوده ام من
زمین، دریا، هوا، جا و مکان جمله تویی تو
مرا از این همه فانی، یکی باقی، تویی تو
اگر روزم ز سر تا شب به غفلت پا گذارم
فرا آید شبی نو، تا سحر سر بر گریبانت گذارم
How to Build OpenCV 3.3.X for Android
In this post I’m sharing the required steps for building OpenCV 3.3.X (to be precise, OpenCV 3.3.0 which was released about a week ago) for Android. You can also download the pre-built libraries from here but it’s always a good idea to build the libraries yourself in case you want any special configurations such as Nvidia Carotene, OpenCV World and so on. So here it is:
