ARTOOLKIT Installation on windows 7

Question

Is there an easy way to install ARTOOLKIT on Windows 7 and Visual Studio 2010? All help is available for VS2006 and Windows XP.

Answer 1

Build Actions:

(1) Unpack the ARToolKit clip in a convenient place. This location will be listed below as {ARToolKit}.

(2) Unzip the DSVideoLib ZIP in {ARToolKit}. Make sure the directory is named "DSVL".

(3) Copy the DSVL.dll and DSVLd.dll files from {ARToolKit} \ DSVL \ bin to {ARToolKit} \ bin.

(4) Install GLUT, put * .h and * .lib in the GLUT SDK in the VStudio folder (including \ GL \ glut.h and lib \ glut32.lib)

(5) Run script {ARToolKit} \ Configure.win32.bat to create include \ AR \ config.h.

(6) Open the ARToolKit.sln file (VS.NET) or the ARToolkit.dsw file (VS6).

(7) Create a toolbox.

The VRML visualization library and example (libARvrml and simpleVRML) are optional assemblies:

(8) Unzip the OpenVRML zip code into {ARToolKit}.

(9) Copy js32.dll from {ARToolKit} \ OpenVRML \ bin to {ARToolKit} \ bin.

(10) Turn on libARvrml and simpleVRML projects in VS Configuration Manager and create.

(2) Camera information in \ bin \ DATA \ WDM_camera_flipV.xml. Change the name friendly_name to the video device. Try using AMCap.exe to get the name of your video device (for example, my is friendly_name = "USB Video Device")

Answer 2

This question is old. The new version of ARToolkit has an installer that comes with many required packages. This is what I wrote based on ARToolkit 5.3.1

Requirements: visual studio 2013 Installing OpenCV 1. Download OpenCV 2.4.11 http://iweb.dl.sourceforge.net/project/opencvlibrary/opencv-win/2.4.11/opencv-2.4.11.exe and extract 2. Copy all lib files from extracted opencv to visual studio: opencv\build\x86\vc12\lib -> C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\VC\lib 3. Copy header folder from opencv\build\include (there are two folders: opencv, opencv2) to C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\VC\include 4. Change windows environment PATH environment variable by adding your opencv bin path: J:\UTDallas\PhDThesis\Resources\artoolkit\opencv\build\x86\vc12\bin 5. (Notice that we use x86 compile in the guide) Installing Artoolkit 6. Download http://www.artoolkit.org/dist/artoolkit5/5.3/ARToolKit%20v5.3.1R2%20Setup%20(bin-win32-vs120).exe And install 7. Run C:\Program Files (x86)\ARToolKit5\Configure-win32.vbs 8. Open solution from C:\Program Files (x86)\ARToolKit5\VisualStudio\vs120\ in Visual Studio 2013 9. For project calib_camera, set Opencv links. Right click on Project, select properties, find Linker from the left, select input. Change Additional Dependencies by removing old OpenCV and adding newer version of OpenCV. For debug mode use debug links (you may only change version of the current. This is the complete list of opencv 2.4.11 lib files) opencv_calib3d2411d.lib opencv_contrib2411d.lib opencv_core2411d.lib opencv_features2d2411d.lib opencv_flann2411d.lib opencv_gpu2411d.lib opencv_highgui2411d.lib opencv_imgproc2411d.lib opencv_legacy2411d.lib opencv_ml2411d.lib opencv_nonfree2411d.lib opencv_objdetect2411d.lib opencv_ocl2411d.lib opencv_photo2411d.lib opencv_stitching2411d.lib opencv_superres2411d.lib opencv_ts2411d.lib opencv_video2411d.lib opencv_videostab2411d.lib For release mode use release links (you may only change version of the current. This is the complete list of opencv 2.4.11 lib files): opencv_calib3d2411.lib opencv_contrib2411.lib opencv_core2411.lib opencv_features2d2411.lib opencv_flann2411.lib opencv_gpu2411.lib opencv_highgui2411.lib opencv_imgproc2411.lib opencv_legacy2411.lib opencv_ml2411.lib opencv_nonfree2411.lib opencv_objdetect2411.lib opencv_ocl2411.lib opencv_photo2411d.lib opencv_stitching2411.lib opencv_superres2411.lib opencv_ts2411.lib opencv_video2411.lib opencv_videostab2411.lib 10. Compile the solution. (Only VRML project won't compile) 11. Run examples from C:\Program Files (x86)\ARToolKit5\bin Installing QuickTime 12. Download and install QuickTime for windows: https://secure-appldnld.apple.com/quicktime/031-43075-20160107-c0844134-b3cd-11e5-b1c0-43ca8d551951/quicktimeinstaller.exe 13. Download QuickTime 7.3 SDK from Apple Developer (You will need apple developer account) https://developer.apple.com/downloads/: http://adcdownload.apple.com/QuickTime/quicktime_7.3_sdk_for_windows/quicktimesdk.zip 14. Run C:\Program Files (x86)\ARToolKit5\VisualStudio\vs120\Patch QuickTime 7.3 SDK\PatchQuickTime73SDK.vbs to configure for this version
