Download Visual Studio 2017: https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/

Download Cmake: https://cmake.org/download/

References:

https://github.com/opencv/opencv opencv-master

https://github.com/opencv/opencv_contrib contrib libraries

Download OpenCV from github site

then extract into a folder name Opencv-master:

then, using CMake to  extract Opencv-master into a folder name OpenCVGithub:

Then Configure => choose some other value like OpenGL, OpenMP or un-tick in BUILD_JAVA

ð  Generate

Run OpenCV.sln from C:\Dev\Libraries\OpenCVGithub

From Solution Explorer part => Run ALL_BUILD for Debug X64 and for RELEASE X64 (long time)

Then Run INSTALL for Debug X64 and for RELEASE X64 (faster)

Going to: View => Property Manager

Type env to find Environment Variables from System Properties

Choose New – Var name: OPENCV_DIR with C:\Dev\Libraries\OpenCVGithub\install\x64\vc15

in Path: create two new paths: %OPENCV_DIR%\bin ; %OPENCV_DIR%\lib

Now open project and set up environment and library for the project:

C/C++ - General: $(OPENCV_DIR)\..\..\include       (% mean module, \.. turn back 1 directory)

Explain for \..\..

OPENCV_DIR: C:\Dev\Libraries\OpenCVGithub\install\x64\vc15

Include: C:\Dev\Libraries\OpenCVGithub\install\include
