1. Today I will show you how using openCv with java

2. OpenCV is a very use full tool for working with images

        canvas.setDefaultCloseOperation(javax.swing.JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);

16. If you see some erro right clic on code area and choose Fix Imports

17. Now run your programm.


By using openCV we can make very interesting applications. Follow is some of them.
