Saddam Bekhet, member of the DCAPI group demonstrated workshop about Using OpenCV with Visual Studio 2010 Express edition on 23/01/2013 . In addition a demonstration about basic OpenCV operations (loading & manipulating images) and advanced operations (face detector & tracker from live camera stream) was demonstrated.

Summary of installation settings of OpenCV :
1- Download OpenCV files http://sourceforge.net/projects/opencvlibrary/files/opencv-win/2.4.0/
2- Download CMAKE http://cmake.org/cmake/resources/software.html
3- Use CMAKE to generate OpenCV library AND DLL’s and use x64 architecture or the architecture what ever suites you in VS2010
4-Open OpenCV build folder and search for “OpenCV.sln” then compile it.
5- Remember to but openCV DLL’s beside The Debug \EXEDirectory of your project in Visual Studio
6- Rememeber to install intel threading block http://threadingbuildingblocks.org/ and put the DLL called tbb.dll in your visual studio debug\EXE

Make sure to reblace “X” in the previous file names with correct naming of the generated OpenCV library files for example on my machine it is “opencv_nonfree242d.lib”
