### Usage:
---
1. Download the current state of the project in [zip][1] format or via [git][2]
2. Download [OpenCV 4.10.0][3], run and unpack to the selected directory \(for example in `<opencv>`).

The following DLLs are required to work properly

- **from** `<opencv>\build\x64\vc16\bin\` or **from** `<delphi-opencv>\redist\opencv_delphi4100.zip`
  * opencv_videoio_ffmpeg4100_64.dll - `release/debug`
  * opencv_videoio_msmf4100_64.dll   - `release`
  * opencv_videoio_msmf4100_64d.dll  - `debug`
  * opencv_world4100.dll             - `release`
  * opencv_world4100d.dll            - `debug`

- **from** `redist\opencv_delphi4100.zip`**
  * opencv_delphi4100.dll - `release`
  * opencv_delphi4100d.dll - `debug`

**For the library to work properly, you need**
- place next to the executable file of your program (examples of usage from `<delphi-opencv>\samples` are compiled into `<delphi-opencv>\bin`)<br>
**or**
- to use in any projects for the x64 platform, you need to copy the `dll` files to `C:\Windows\System32\`.

> [!WARNING]
> You may not have the Microsoft runtime libraries installed on your computer, which are required for OpenCV to work. Take advantage of the [advice](https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/vcruntime140dll-and-msvcp140dll-missing-in-windows/caf454d1-49f4-4d2b-b74a-c83fb7c38625) ([source](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist)):
> 
> "The lack of these DLLs can be fixed by installing "Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 - 2022 Redistributable". Probably the application that is showing this error depends on it installed. Download and install both the [x86](https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x86.exe) and [x64](https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x64.exe) versions"

> [!IMPORTANT]
> You can check the availability of the required libraries (dll) for running projects using the [CheckCVDep.exe][4] utility (`<delphi-opencv>\cvCheckDep`)

3. Set Delphi environment setting

Add the Library path for the modules of the project in Delphi IDE:<br>
`Tools-Options` -> `Language-Delphi-Library-"Windows 64-bit"-Library path` add path `<delphi-opencv>\source\` and `<delphi-opencv>\packages`

### To run demo examples
---
1. Change the path in the `OpenCVRootPath` variable in the `<delphi-opencv>\source\CVResource.pas` module to the path to the unpacked [OpenCV 4.10.0][3] library. This is only needed to run examples from samples.
2. Open `<delphi-opencv>\samples\Samples.groupproj`

### To install components
---
1. For components, install the packages from `<delphi-opencv>\packages\<Delphi Version>\CVClassGroup.groupproj`
1. Run demo from `<delphi-opencv>\samples\Samples.groupproj`
