##Requirements:

* Some examples (FFMPEG) required [SDL 2.0 and SDL 1.2][3]<br>
* <b>Warning! Dynamic OpenCV library is not included in the repository!</b><br>
Dynamic library OpenCV need to download [here] [4]
* Shared library FFMPEG for Windows can be downloaded from [link] [5]

<b>Note:</b>
```
Do not forget to add to your PATH variable path to the library "opencv_*.dll" and FFMPEG dll.

If for some reason the installation of "Visual C ++ redistributable for Visual Studio 2013" was held fails, you can:
--- for 64-bit ---
1. Copy the dll files from the <PROJECT_ROOT>\redist\VC2013x64\ to C:\Windows\System32\
2. Copy all the dll from <PROJECT_ROOT>\bin\Win64 in the C:\Windows\System32\
3. Copy the dll files from the <PROJECT_ROOT>\redist\VC2013x86\ to C:\Windows\SysWOW64\
4. Copy all the dll from <PROJECT_ROOT>\bin\Win32 in the C:\Windows\SysWOW64\

--- for 32-bit ---
1. Copy the dll files from the <PROJECT_ROOT>\redist\VC2013x86\ to C:\Windows\System32\
2. Copy all the dll from <PROJECT_ROOT>\bin\Win32 in the C:\Windows\System32\
```

##How to install:
Download the [archive][1].<br>
Unzip it to a convenient directory, thus get the following directory structure<br>
```
<PROJECT_ROOT> - Directory, for example, "C:\Delphi\OpenCV\"
	<bin>
	<redist>
	<resource>
	<samples>
	<source>
```
Add the search path for the modules of the project in Delphi IDE (Tools-Options-Delphi Options-Library-Library path)
```
<PROJECT_ROOT>\source
<PROJECT_ROOT>\source\utils
<PROJECT_ROOT>\source\component
<PROJECT_ROOT>\source\sdl
<PROJECT_ROOT>\source\opengl
<PROJECT_ROOT>\source\ffmpeg
<PROJECT_ROOT>\resource\facedetectxml
```
where ```<PROJECT_ROOT>``` directory, which was unzipped project.<br>

To install the components, open and install
```
<PROJECT_ROOT>\source\component\DelphiXX\OpenCVXXX.dpk
<PROJECT_ROOT>\source\component\DelphiXX\dclCommonOpenCVXXX.dpk
<PROJECT_ROOT>\source\component\DelphiXX\dclVCLOpenCVXXX.dpk
<PROJECT_ROOT>\source\component\DelphiXX\dclFMXOpenCVXXX.dpk
```
Open in Delphi IDE and compile:<br>
Examples of the use of certain functions and procedures 
```
<PROJECT_ROOT>\samples\LibDemo\LibDemo.groupproj
```
Examples of the use of video processing algorithms
```
<PROJECT_ROOT>\samples\MultiDemo\MultiDemo.groupproj
```
Examples of the use of video processing algorithms using VCL.Forms
```
<PROJECT_ROOT>\samples\VCLDemo\VCLDemo.groupproj
```
Examples of using FFMPEG library header files are in the
```
<PROJECT_ROOT>\samples\FFMpeg\FFMPEG.groupproj
```
Examples of use of components
```
<PROJECT_ROOT>\samples\Components\ComponentsDemo.groupproj
```
