JavaFX with OpenCV start/pause webcam. FXMLLoader - opencv

Question

I am trying to learn JavaFX with the library OpenCV for my degree. I want to make a program that detects people. We can name it people counter. I saw some videos already and I want to do that too.
The problem is that I have to start to learn JavaFX and the library OpenCV.
So I started to create a simple project that starts / pause the webcam and take a snapshot. I saw someone on youtube doing this and I started to recreate it.
The problem is that I have this error:
Exception in Application start method
java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException
My code is:
Main
package application;
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
import javafx.stage.WindowEvent;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.layout.BorderPane;
import javafx.fxml.FXMLLoader;
public class Main extends Application {
#Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
try {
BorderPane root = (BorderPane) FXMLLoader.load(getClass().getResource("Camera.fxml"));
Scene scene = new Scene(root, 400, 400);
scene.getStylesheets().add(getClass().getResource("application.css").toExternalForm());
primaryStage.setScene(scene);
primaryStage.show();
} catch(Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
launch(args);
}
}
CameraController
package application;

#FXML

private DaemonThread myThread = null;
int count = 0;

Mat frame = new Mat();
MatOfByte mem = new MatOfByte(); /// start button
#FXML
protected void startClick(ActionEvent event) {
webSource =new VideoCapture(0);
myThread = new DaemonThread();
Thread t = new Thread(myThread);
t.setDaemon(true);
myThread.runnable = true;
t.start();
btn_start.setDisable(true);
btn_pause.setDisable(false); // stop button
}
#FXML
protected void pauseClick(ActionEvent event) {}
#FXML
protected void snapshotClick(ActionEvent event) {}
class DaemonThread implements Runnable {
protected volatile boolean runnable = false;
#Override
public void run() {
synchronized (this) {
while (runnable) {
if (webSource.grab()) {
try {
webSource.retrieve(frame);
Imgcodecs.imencode(".bmp", frame, mem);
Image im = ImageIO.read(new ByteArrayInputStream(mem.toArray()));
BufferedImage buff = (BufferedImage) im;
imgView.setImage(SwingFXUtils.toFXImage(buff, null));
if (!runnable) {
System.out.println("Going to wait()");
this.wait();
}
} catch (Exception ex) {
System.out.println("Error");
}
}
}
}
}
}

}
}
The problem is on this line:
BorderPane root = (BorderPane) FXMLLoader.load(getClass().getResource("Camera.fxml"));
Scene scene = new Scene(root,400,400);

Thank you in advance!

Answer 1

Try this it worked for me nu.pattern.OpenCV.loadShared();

Answer 2

I fixed the problem by just adding System.loadLibrary(Core.NATIVE_LIBRARY_NAME):
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.loadLibrary(Core.NATIVE_LIBRARY_NAME);
launch(args);
}
