Yes, you can use the libfastcv.lib with MS Visual C++ 2008.
To use it
1. Create a project (e.g. Win32 Project)
2. Update "Property",
a. at C/C++, "additional include directory" -> add the fastcv header file directory.
b. at Linker, "Additional Library Directory" -> add the fastcv library directory
and add libfastcv.lib to "Additional Dependencies"
You mean I can use it in my C++ project. That is very good! And I can call the fastCV API functions in my C++ project?
If so, fastCV can take place of openCV? Is fastCV higher efficiency than openCV in the intel CPU in the win32 system?
Yes you can use FastCV in your Windows projects (with Visual Studio for example), however FastCV is not meant to replace OpenCV for Windows applications. FastCV is optimized to run on mobile platforms, especially on Qualcomm Snapdragon platform for best performance. So it's logical to develop your reference implementation with FastCV in Windows, but with the end goal of running it on a mobile device.
Thank you for the answer! I want to apply fastCV to a app in windows and run it in the intel cpu .Then compare the performance wiith openCV.
