QT + + Core

QT-= GUI


TARGET = Qtconsole

CONFIG + = Console

CONFIG-= App_bundle


TEMPLATE = App


Includepath + = C:/users/shenxiao/downloads/opencv/build/include


LIBS + =-lc:/tools/opencv_mybuild/lib/debug \

 Opencv_core300d.lib \

 Opencv_highgui300d.lib \

 Opencv_imgproc300d.lib \

 Opencv_features2d300d.lib \

 Opencv_calib3d300d.lib \

 Opencv_videoio300d.lib \

 Opencv_video300d.lib \

 Opencv_imgcodecs300d.lib\


SOURCES + = Main.cpp

8. Change the main.cpp to code as below.

#include <QCoreApplication> #include "opencv2/core/core.hpp" #include "opencv2/highgui/highgui.hpp" #include "opencv/cv.h" void Test()
{
    cv::Mat mat;
    mat = cv::imread("C:\\Test\\QTConsole\\img.jpg"); if ( mat.empty() ) return;
    cvNamedWindow("hello");
    cv::imshow("hello",mat);

    cvWaitKey(0);

    cv::destroyWindow("hello");
} int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QCoreApplication a(argc, argv);
