Installation

A prebuild binaries for 64 bit Mac can be found in the root directory of this arhchive. For simplest rig do

1. Start video host with default settings:

   $ ./videohost

2. Run videostreamer with default settings. This will start

   $ ./videostreamer

3. You should see videohost showing preview window with webcam stream

Compile

To compile Android video streamer application one needs Android SDK (2.3.3) and Android NDK (n7b) installed. In addition, newest OpenCV for Android is required from the trunk (rev 7621). The reason is the recent implementation of imencode for image encoding.

To compile PC/MAC application one needs to have compiled & installed gcc, OpenCV 2.3.1, Protocol Buffers 2.4.1, Boost 1.49.0. For Matlab video host Matlab R2012a with MEX is required.

After compiling and installing all the prerequisites edit make.sh with the path to your OpenCV.

After that run

$ ./make.sh

to compile.
