Installation

Because ViSP is a multi platform library that works under Linux, OSX and Windows, to install ViSP you need the CMake configuration tool available from http://www.cmake.org. Furthermore, depending on your operation system and the capabilities (framegrabber, display, simulation, ...) you need, prior to install ViSP you may install third party libraries http://visp.inria.fr/software-architecture.

ViSP full installation procedure using CMake is detailed in the Installation from prebuild SDK tutorials and Installation from source tutorials. Getting started tutorials and documents in pdf are also available from http://visp.inria.fr/publications.

Using ViSP

ViSP C++ classes are organized in modules that may help the user during his project implementation.

From the example page, you will also find examples showing how to use the library to acquire and display an image, compute a camera pose, estimate an homography, servo a real robot or a simulated one using a 2D, 2D half or 3D visual servoing scheme, ...
