For using CUDA, I need to compile OpenCV. I'm using CMake and OpenCV 3 sources. I do not get any errors when clicking und "Generate" in CMake. Then I compile the OpenCV.sln solution for Win64 using Visual Studio (I selected the right visual studio version). I do not get any errors when compiling.
But I do know what to include; normally, there is "opencv" and "opencv2" in the include folder. But this does not exist.
My opencv folder after compiling:
My include folder:
Includes located in sources folder, not in build folder (if you did not Build INSTALL project).

I have compiled opencv3.4.0 with cuda9.1 support using CMake on Windows 10:
and then I built the INSTALL file in visual studio 2015 in OpenCV.sln.
But this is my Release folder:
The file opencv_cudaoptflow340.lib is not anywhere in C drive, however it should be in C:\opencv_3.4.0\opencv\build\lib\Release. How can I build opencv so that these library and dll files are generated?
You build opencv_worldxxx.lib all is inside as well in opencv_worldxxx.dll. You can unmark the option in Cmake related to opencv_world library. Than the libs and dll will be in separate files. Marked world all is in that single file. Unmarked option generates opencv_core opencv_videoio opencv_ml .lib .dll. You can decide one or another. There is difference in link one library or several libraries and consider this in packaging of your app. build in Cmake
I'm attempting to use OpenCV for Windows as supplied by opencv.org in a project I'm building with JetBrains' CLion IDE. I've installed the opencv library and configured CLion (set(OpenCV_DIR) to reference the build directory under it, but CMake issues the warning:
Found OpenCV Windows Pack but it has no binaries compatible with your configuration.
You should manually point CMake variable OpenCV_DIR to your build of OpenCV library.
I've tried some of the older distributions from opencv.org with the same results. It appears CMake is locating the OpenCV libraries, but doesn't want to use them. Why, and how do I get the OpenCV libraries to work under CLion?
The short answer is, you will probably need to build OpenCV from source in order to use it with CLion. But given the number and range of partially answered and unanswered questions here* and elsewhere on using JetBrains' CLion IDE with the OpenCV library, I think an overview is needed (my notes are from CLion 2016.3 and OpenCV 3.1, YMMV):
Though not produced by JetBrains, CMake is very central to CLion's operation. Understanding CMake therefore helps greatly in diagnosing CLion build problems. In particular CMake maintains a disk "cache" of settings which you may need to clear to incorporate changes to your environment (Tools->CMake->Reset Cache and Reload Project).
To make use of OpenCV in your build you must specify it in your project's CMakeLists.txt file. You request that CMake locate your OpenCV location and link it to your TARGET. An example of a sequence of commands from CMakeLists.txt for an executable named mushroom follows:
add_executable(mushroom ${SOURCE_FILES})
FIND_PACKAGE(OpenCV REQUIRED)
TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(mushroom ${OpenCV_LIBS})
(For more on FIND_PACKAGE, see CMake:How To Find Libraries.)
FIND_PACKAGE for package XXX works either by way of FindXXX.cmake files located at CMake's Modules directory, or by consulting environment variable XXXX_DIR. On my system, no FindOpenCV.cmake file was present, so I relied on the OpenCV_DIR environment variable instead. This must be set, not to the root of your OpenCV installation, but to the build folder beneath it. I used an entry in CMakeLists.txt to set this variable, e.g.:
set(OpenCV_DIR C:/Users/myacct/AppData/Local/opencv-3.0.0/build)
To link with OpenCV, CMake uses either FindOpenCV.cmake or OpenCV_DIR (see previous point above) to locate a file named OpenCVConfig.cmake. This file is generated by and ships with a particular build of OpenCV in order to document what components are present and where they are located.
Problems may occur when variable names used by OpenCVConfig.cmake conflict with those CLion has stored in its environment. In particular, if your OpenCV was built by Microsoft Visual C (MSVC), as is the Windows distribution from opencv.org, it won't work with CLion.
Because CLion's build toolchain (ControlAltS-toolchain) uses either MinGW or Cygwin, OpenCVConfig.cmake will search for OpenCV binaries under a subdirectory named mingw or cygwin and will find none because the binaries were built with MSVC (it will look in a directory like vc11 or vc12 instead). This probably means you will need to build OpenCV from source in order to use it with CLion.
Would reconfiguring OpenCVConfig.cmake to point to the MSVC binaries make this work? you may ask. Unfortunately the answer is still no, because libraries built with one compiler typically cannot be linked with another one.
OpenCVConfig.cmake or FindOpenCV.cmake likely contain diagnostic messages, but when CLion executes CMake for you, message(STATUS) calls are not displayed. To make them display, change them to message(WARNING) or message(FATAL_ERROR). But CLion 2016.3 EAP relieves this problem; see https://stackoverflow.com/a/39398373/5025060.
CLion does not indicate which .cmake script issued which diagnostics; don't assume they all come from the same script.
Hopefully this provides some general guidance on resolving CLion / CMake / OpenCV compatibility problems. Note that this does not cover compiler or linker issues; these will not appear until CMake completes its initial makefile build. Compiler or linker issues occur at a later stage and are controlled by include*(), link*() and other commands in CMakeLists.txt.

CMake: Of what use is find_package() if you need to specify CMAKE_MODULE_PATH anyway?
I'm trying to write a program that uses SURF algorithm and I know that the nonfree module must be installed separately. I've downloaded and installed the latest version of CMake(3.5.2) and I'm following the instructions from:
https://github.com/itseez/opencv_contrib/ . I'm using the GUI and I run Visual Studio 2015 on a 64 bit Windows 10.
Since I know that for SURF you must include xfeatures2d when it asked me the source of the code I only specified the xfeatures2d folder. When I first pressed the configure button I had some errors(I've attached an image of them). I managed to get rid of one of the errors, the one that said to write a line of code at the top of the file
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.5), but I still have one error:
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:4 (ocv_define_module):
Unknown CMake command "ocv_define_module".
I'm also attaching a picture of the CMakeLists.txt. Please help me find the problem.
Also, if you could help my install all modules at once, I would be grateful. Or do I have to set as input every folder in the modules folder?

Try using Visual Studio 12 2013 for compilation, this has worked for me, but not the other (newer) versions of Visual Studio.
I used the prebuilt OpenCV 3.0.0 version. It works when I create a Visual Studio project directly, and when I add include and library directories.
Now I am making a CMakeList.txt file (so that I can run the same code on different systems). It will be used to create the Visual Studio project on Windows, and Makefile on Unixes, etc.
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8)
project( Facade )
find_package( OpenCV REQUIRED )
add_executable( Facade grammar.cpp )
target_link_libraries( Facade ${OpenCV_LIBS} )
When I generate the Visual Studio file on Windows, I got the following error:
CMake Warning at C:/opencv/build/OpenCVConfig.cmake:166 (message):
Found OpenCV Windows Pack but it has no binaries compatible with your
configuration.
You should manually point CMake variable OpenCV_DIR to your build of OpenCV
library.
Call Stack (most recent call first):
CMakeLists.txt:3 (find_package)
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:3 (find_package):
Found package configuration file:
C:/opencv/build/OpenCVConfig.cmake
but it set OpenCV_FOUND to FALSE so package "OpenCV" is considered to be
NOT FOUND.
Currently, OpenCV_DIR is C:\opencv\build, where it holds the CMake files. If I point OpenCV_DIR to C:\opencv\build\x64\vc12, it says, can't find CMake files.
How do I fix this?
What generator string did you use for the CMake configuration step? For VC12 x64, you need to use -G "Visual Studio 12 Win64" (if you were using CMake 3, you would use -G "Visual Studio 12 2013 Win64"). Note that you need to include Win64 at the end to get the x64 platform.
It is rather convenient that the OpenCV CMake config script is checking to make sure you are using the x64 binaries. You configured CMake to build 32-bit binaries, which would cause a runtime error if you were able to get an executable built.
Just in case anybody else has this problem, I got it from using old CMake config scripts. With VS2017 installed, I was getting this error- turns out that some auto-generated CMAKE configs have something like this:
elseif(MSVC_VERSION EQUAL 1910)
set(OpenCV_RUNTIME vc15)
I checked MSVC_VERSION and it was 1916, which is still VC15, but the files erroneously missed that. I changed to:
elseif((MSVC_VERSION EQUAL 1910) OR (MSVC_VERSION GREATER 1910))
set(OpenCV_RUNTIME vc15)
and it worked like a charm.
I'm trying to build openCV version 2.4.9 from the git repository. I've followed the instructions to run cmake-gui to build a visual studio solution. I've then built the VS studio solution in both relase and debug mode and then run the install build.
The install build puts all of the compiled libs into the install folder along with the include folder.
The problem is the include folder is completely wrong and missing a number of files. When I add the include folder path to a HelloWorld project it can't find any of the opencv methods classes etc.
Its as though the cmake build process has been corrupted in some way and doesn't properly prepare the include folder with the required header files.
I've tried this for both VS 2010 and VS 2012 cmake configurations and got the same result. Everything compiles fine, the header files in the install directory however aren't right.
Copying header files from a pre-built windows installation sort of work, and i'm confused as to why the build process doesn't result in a similar folder structure of header files.
This is really a bug and it has been reported twice. The description of the first link provides the fix:
The regex on this line is no longer corect:
https://github.com/Itseez/opencv/blob/master/cmake/OpenCVModule.cmake#L520
it should be replaced by: /[/]+.h(..)?$
I'll just update this post to keep it up-to-date with the latest git version of opencv.
On current release the bug is still there and now located # line 538 of cmake/OpenCVModule.cmake. The proposed solution is to replace the actual line 538:
if(hdr2 MATCHES "^(opencv2/.*)[^/]+.h(..)?$" AND NOT hdr2 MATCHES "opencv2/${the_module}/private.*")
by
if(NOT hdr2 MATCHES "opencv2/${the_module}/private.*" AND hdr2 MATCHES "^(opencv2/?.*)/[^/]+.h(..)?$" )
Thanks a lot to the author of this patch that saved me a headhake...
