Due to dynamically linked libraries and not all necessary dependencies being packaged with the base version of the package for all uses, this page was created to help with the initial hassle of getting OpenCV to run in development environments. | |||

It is important to note that the most popular OpenCV package for rust, [https://github.com/twistedfall/opencv-rust opencv-rust], is just a series of bindings for the C++ version of OpenCV, and is thereby unsafe. Errors that occur while trying to use these bindings may just fail quietly or return an error from the underlying C++ code. There is an effort to implement most of the main computer vision algorithms entirely in rust called [https://github.com/rust-cv/cv rust-cv]. The package has not been actively maintained since July of 2023. | It is important to note that the most popular OpenCV package for rust, [https://github.com/twistedfall/opencv-rust opencv-rust], is just a series of bindings for the C++ version of OpenCV, and is thereby unsafe.

The opencv-rust package does not include the C++ bindings, thereby requiring it to be installed alongside the package itself. Luckily, opencv is packaged in nixpkgs and using it is just a question of getting on our system, the crate does the rest of the work. | |||
