HARK-OPENCV Installation Instructions

Any version later than OpenCV-1.0 is OK for HARK-OPENCV.
See OpenCV installation guide for the detail.

Example in Ubuntu 10.04

sudo aptitude install libcv4 libhighgui4 libcvaux4 libcv-dev libhighgui-dev libcvaux-dev python-opencv opencv-doc

HARK

harkfd (for HARK main software)
hark-opencv (optional modules for the OpenCV)

See next subsection for the installation detail.

Installation from pre-compiled binaries

Compilation Environment

OS
- Ubuntu 10.04 lucid (both 32bit and 64bit)
- Ubuntu 12.04 precise (both 32bit and 64bit)

For other environments, please go for the source compilation.

The pre-compiled binaries for lucid are supported up to HARK version 1.1.0.
To use HARK later than version 1.1.0 in lucid, go for the source compilation.

Installation

Setup your sources.list file to accept Debian packages from the HARK server.

Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid)

sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://winnie.kuis.kyoto-u.ac.jp/HARK/harkrepos lucid non-free\ndeb-src http://winnie.kuis.kyoto-u.ac.jp/HARK/harkrepos lucid non-free" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/hark.list'

Ubuntu 12.04 (Precise)

sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://winnie.kuis.kyoto-u.ac.jp/HARK/harkrepos precise non-free\ndeb-src http://winnie.kuis.kyoto-u.ac.jp/HARK/harkrepos precise non-free" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/hark.list'

Set up your keys.

wget http://winnie.kuis.kyoto-u.ac.jp/HARK/harkrepos/public.gpg -O - | sudo apt-key add -

HARK server re-indexing

sudo apt-get update

HARK stack (harkfd, hark-opencv) installation

sudo apt-get install harkfd hark-opencv

Installation from source compilation (Optional)

Supported Environment

OS
- 32bit/64bit Ubuntu 10.04 or later (until 12.04)

Step1 : OpenCV Installation

Fistly, install OpenCV fundamental packages before you proceed.

See OpenCV installation guide for the detail.

Step2 : HARK Basic Package Installation

HARK repository and gpg-key settings

sudo sh -c 'echo "deb-src http://winnie.kuis.kyoto-u.ac.jp/HARK/harkrepos precise non-free" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/hark.list'
wget http://winnie.kuis.kyoto-u.ac.jp/HARK/harkrepos/public.gpg -O - | sudo apt-key add -
sudo apt-get update

Hereinafter, the source compilation of only HARK-OPENCV package is explained.
We assume that the HARK basic packages (such as harkfd, flowdesigner-0.9.1-hark) are installed by pre-compiled bineries.

sudo apt-get install harkfd

If you use the Ubuntu 64bit version, you have to install the HARK basic packages by source compilation as well.

HARK-OPENCV package is installed by source compilation in the next subsection.

Step3 : HARK-OPENCV Package Installation

To install HARK-OPENCV, we need source codes of both hark-opencv and harkfd.

Firstly, move to your preferred directory to download source codes.

mkdir ${HOME}/YOUR_HARK_DOWNLOAD_DIR
cd ${HOME}/YOUR_HARK_DOWNLOAD_DIR

Download source codes from hark-fd-*.*.*.tar.gz and hark-opencv-*.*.*.tar.gz and unzip them.

tar zxvf hark-fd-*.*.*.tar.gz
tar zxvf hark-opencv-*.*.*.tar.gz

Compile and install the source codes.

cd hark-opencv-*.*.*
./configure --prefix=/usr --with-hark-inc=${HOME}/YOUR_HARK_DOWNLOAD_DIR/harkfd-*.*.*/include/; make clean; make ; sudo make install;

The "*.*.*" describes the package version.

Here, we need header files of harkfd with --with-hark-inc option, so we downloaded harkfd source files.

Check the installation

To check the HARK-OPENCV installation, follow this section.

Run Flowdesigner in a new terminal.

flowdesigner

You will see something like following.

UINodeRepository::Scan()
Scanning def /usr/lib/flowdesigner/toolbox
done loading def files

If you see some OpenCV related errors here, some packages haven't been correctly installed.
Then, repeat the installation above.

HARK-OPENCV modules can be found at the following place.
