Using the Vitis vision Library¶
This section describes using the Vitis vision library in the Vitis development environment.
Note: The instructions in this section assume that you have downloaded and installed all the required packages.
include folder constitutes all the necessary components to build a Computer Vision or Image Processing pipeline using the library. The folders common and core contain the infrastructure that the library functions need for basic functions, Mat class, and macros. The library functions are categorized into 4 folders, features, video, dnn, and imgproc based on the operation they perform. The names of the folders are self-explanatory.
To work with the library functions, you need to include the path to the the include folder in the Vitis project. You can include relevant header files for the library functions you will be working with after you source the include folder’s path to the compiler. For example, if you would like to work with Harris Corner Detector and Bilateral Filter, you must use the following lines in the host code:
#include “features/xf_harris.hpp” //for Harris Corner Detector
#include “imgproc/xf_bilateral_filter.hpp” //for Bilateral Filter
#include “video/xf_kalmanfilter.hpp”
After the headers are included, you can work with the library functions as described in the Vitis vision Library API Reference using the examples in the examples folder as reference.
The following table gives the name of the header file, including the folder name, which contains the library function.
