Installation of Scilab IPCV 1.2
The Installation for the Scilab IPCV 1.2 for Windows 32-bits and 64-bits is the same with previous IPCV version.
As for Linux, we are trying to make IPCV 1.2 available for different Linux distributions by providing instruction for prerequisites libraries in this blogs, and it is an ongoing process.
As for today, 17-Dec-2017, we just release the IPCV for Linux 64-bit in atoms portal, and we will provide the instructions to setup in Ubuntu, and more will be coming in near future. If you have any success in making it available in other distributions, please share with others in comment.
For Windows 32-bit and 64-bit
- Install Scilab 6.0 (the simplest way is using the binary versions for the corresponding architecture)
- Launch Scilab and run atomsInstall(‘IPCV’) to install the module
- IPCV module would be loaded on next restart
For Ubuntu 16.04 (32-bit and 64-bit) – 20-Dec-2017
Install prerequisites under Ubuntu 16.04.
sudo apt-get install libjpeg-dev libjasper-dev libavcodec-dev libavformat-dev libswscale-dev libdc1394-22-dev libgstreamer0.10-dev libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-dev libv4l-dev libtbb-dev libqt4-dev libgtk2.0-dev libmp3lame-dev libtheora-dev libvorbis-dev libxvidcore-dev x264 v4l-utils |
- Install Scilab 6.0 (the simplest way is using the binary versions for the corresponding architecture)

Any contributions/requests on how to install on other Linux distributions, please feel free to put in the comment section.
Dear IPCV team,
I was delighted when I found the description of the possibilities of IPCV combined with Scilab 6.0. I have previously been working with Scilab 5.5.2 using SIVP to analyse ultrasound images and speckle.
I now tried to swap to version 6.0 and add IPVC.
IPCV seem to be loaded correcltly:

but have trouble when using the imread I get the following response:
–> imread(“C:\Program Files\scilab-6.0.0\contrib\IPCV\images\lena.png”)
SWIG/Scilab: RuntimeError: the module is not initialized
What am I doing wrong?
Thank you for any help I can get on this
Best regards Georg Doblhoff
Hi,
This issue is most likely due to you have both IPCV and scicv installed and loaded at the same time.
In order to solve this, you could either:
1. Uninstall scicv
2. Disable autoload for both modules, and manually load either one when you need them.
Hope this helps.

Hi,
Dear Chin-Luh,
Thank you ever so much. This solved the problem. Just tried it out and image reading works fine now.
I must run through my old programs now to check if they work as they should, but the first big step is done, especially as the IPCV offer some features that will make the programs shorter and more efficient.
How are the chances the two programs will work together at some time? Some of the features of image acquisition and camera settings would be interesting to use intermittanly.
Thank you very much again and
best regards Georg Doblhoff
Dear Georg Doblhoff,
Great to hear it works. Having to say so, they might be some differences between SIVP and IPCV, but it should be working with minor modification.
As for the modules to work together, we do have some discussion with the scicv and we do believe that at one point of time, we should have work out something together. (that’s what I interpret :)). However, due to the time and resources for both of us, we could not promise when it would happen.
Thanks.
Regards,
Chin Luh
Hi Team
I upgraded from 5.2. to 6.0
Installed the IPCV via Atoms,

And when use imread , I get :

What I am doing wrong?
NO other SIVC installed.
Many Thanks for a hint

Hi Ludek,
Can you show what’s your output of atomsGetInstalled?
Thanks

Hello,
I installed the IPCV package, and it works well.
I have some problems with the help module. After the IPCV package installation, I can find some help about IPCV functions in Scilab help module. But, now, this ICPV help has disappeared.
Thanks.
Usually the help chapters would only appear after you’ve restarting your Scilab. It is a bit weird to have it the other way. Could you reconfirm this – what messages for the IPCV module you get when u start Scilab?
