Windows Source Installation

The following steps are how to install from source codes. If you wanna using prebuilt DLL, please see Windows EXE Installation .

1. Install Build Tools

1.1 Install Visual Studio

Download Visual Studio 2017 from https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/zh-hans/vs/older-downloads/ and install, select “Desktop development with C++” .

../_images/vs_install.png

Tip

support Visual Studio 2015 and Visual Studio 2017.

1.2 Install CMake

Download CMake from https://cmake.org/ and install

1.3 Install MSYS2

  1. Download MSYS2 from http://mirrors.ustc.edu.cn/msys2/distrib/x86_64/ and install

  2. Add bin path to System PATH environment variable list (Add to the PATH on Windows 10)

C:\msys64\usr\bin

  1. Install make , double click msys2.exe , input following command:

pacman -Syu
pacman -S make

Finally, the CMD (Command Prompt) can run the following command:

>make --version
GNU Make 4.2.1

2. Install SDK dependencies

2.1 Install OpenCV

2.1.1 Install OpenCV with Pre-built Libraries (Recommend)

*For more details you can reference OpenCV offical document *

  1. Go to OpenCV Sourceforge page http://sourceforge.net/projects/opencvlibrary/files/opencv-win/

  2. Choose a build you want to use and download it. For example 3.4.3/opencv-3.4.3-vc14_vc15.exe

  3. Make sure you have admin rights. Unpack the self-extracting archive

  4. To finalize the installation, go to set the OpenCV environment variable and add it to the systems path

2.1.2 Set up environment variable

  1. Start up a command window as admin and enter following command to add OPENCV_DIR environment variable:

Change the “D:OpenCV” to your opencv unpack path

setx -m OPENCV_DIR D:\OpenCV\Build\x64\vc14\lib     (suggested for Visual Studio 2015 - 64 bit Windows)
setx -m OPENCV_DIR D:\OpenCV\Build\x64\vc15\lib     (suggested for Visual Studio 2017 - 64 bit Windows)

Or referring to Add to the PATH on Windows 10 to add OPENCV_DIR environment variable manually.

D:\OpenCV\Build\x64\vc14\lib     (suggested for Visual Studio 2015 - 64 bit Windows)
D:\OpenCV\Build\x64\vc15\lib     (suggested for Visual Studio 2017 - 64 bit Windows)

  1. Add OpenCV bin path to System PATH environment variable list

D:\OpenCV\Build\x64\vc14\bin     (suggested for Visual Studio 2015 - 64 bit Windows)
D:\OpenCV\Build\x64\vc15\bin     (suggested for Visual Studio 2017 - 64 bit Windows)

2.2 Install libjpeg-turbo

  1. Download libjpeg-turbo from https://sourceforge.net/projects/libjpeg-turbo/files/ and install

  2. Add bin path to System PATH environment variable list

C:\libjpeg-turbo64\bin

2.3 Install PCL for Point Cloud sample (Optional)

Download All-in-one installers (PCL + dependencies) from: https://github.com/PointCloudLibrary/pcl/releases

3. Build SDK

Open “x64 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS 2017”(suggested for Visual Studio 2017 - 64 bit Windows) command shell

git clone https://github.com/slightech/MYNT-EYE-D-SDK.git
cd MYNT-EYE-D-SDK
make all

Tip

Visual Studio Command Prompt can be opened from the Start menu,

../_images/vs_cmd_menu.png

You can also open it from the Visual Studio Tools menu.

../_images/vs_cmd.png

However, if you do not have the Visual Studio 2015 Tools menu, you can add one yourself.

Open Tools’s External Tools… and Add the following:

Field

Value

Title

Visual Studio Command Prompt

Command

C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe

Arguments

/k "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\Tools\VsDevCmd.bat"

Initial Directory

$(SolutionDir)

4. Run Samples

Note: Open the rectified image by default (Run vio need to raw image, run depth or points cloud need to rectified image.)

  1. get_image shows the left camera image and colorful depthmap (compatible with USB2.0)

.\samples\_output\bin\get_image.bat

  1. get_stereo_image shows the left camera image and colorful depthmap

./samples/_output/bin/get_stereo_image.bat

  1. get_depth shows the left camera image, 16UC1 depthmap and depth value(mm) on mouse pointed pixel

.\samples\_output\bin\get_depth.bat

  1. get_points shows the left camera image, 16UC1 depthmap and point cloud view

.\samples\_output\bin\get_points.bat

  1. get_imu shows motion datas

.\samples\_output\bin\get_imu

  1. get_img_params show camera intrinsics and save in file

.\samples\_output\bin\get_img_params

  1. get_imu_params show imu intrinsics and save in file

.\samples\_output\bin\get_imu_params

  1. get_from_callbacks show image and imu data by callback

.\samples\_output\bin\get_from_callbacks

  1. get_all_with_options open device with different options

.\samples\_output\bin\get_all_with_options

  1. get_depth_with_filter display filtered depth image

.\samples\_output\bin\get_depth_with_filter

  1. get_points_with_filter display filtered point cloud image

.\samples\_output\bin\get_points_with_filter

5. Clean

cd <sdk>  # local path of SDK
make cleanall
