OpenCV-TS

Experimental WIP TypeScript typings and OpenCV.js/wasm loader.

Typings in this repository are generated by reusing/extending OpenCV python and embindgen generators. This approach makes it easier to ensure the typings actually match the wasm, as well as being able to reuse documentation in C++ headers.

Contents

Main opencv-ts contents:

  • hand-written lib/typings/core for hand-written core_bindings.cpp
  • generated lib/typings/gen from wasm build of opencv
  • pretty-printed lib/_opencv.js (to avoid generating massive stacktraces in Node 14)
  • generator invoker ts_generator/typegen.py
  • tests/opencv are copied from opencv and converted to typescript mainly to test typings and find missing stuff

Running Tests

  1. clone repo && npm install
  2. compile tests npm run watch:test
  3. run all tests npm run test

Or run a single test file npm run test:single dist/tests/opencv/test_calib3d.js

Usage

  1. Clone this repository https://github.com/peteruhnak/opencv-ts
  2. npm install /your/clone/dir/opencv-ts

To use opencv in node, the library/wasm must be fully initialized, which may take a moment. This library wraps emscripten's onRuntimeInitialized in a Promise-based loader cv.loadOpenCV(): Promise<void>.

  • import the library as import cv from 'opencv'
  • await promise cv.loadOpenCV() before doing anything
    • the loader does some derpy stuff to ensure loadOpenCV is reentrant, but loaded only once
  • you must access cv objects and types through cv
    • e.g. import { Mat } from 'opencv' will not work

Node Example

Uses pngjs to serialize image.

cv-test.ts:

import cv from 'opencv'
import { PNG } from 'pngjs'
import fs from 'fs'

function matToDataUrl(mat: cv.Mat): string {
  const size = mat.size()
  const png = new PNG({ width: size.width, height: size.height })
  png.data.set(mat.data)
  const buffer = PNG.sync.write(png)
  return 'data:image/png;base64,' + buffer.toString('base64')
}

cv.loadOpenCV().then(() => {
  const baseMatSrc = new cv.Mat(2, 4, cv.CV_8UC3)
  baseMatSrc.data.set(new Uint8Array([
    255, 0, 0, 0, 255, 0, 0, 0,
    255, 255, 255, 255, 255, 0, 255, 0,
    255, 255, 255, 255, 0, 0, 0, 0
  ]))
  const baseMat = new cv.Mat()
  cv.cvtColor(baseMatSrc, baseMat, cv.COLOR_RGB2RGBA)
  const largerMat = new cv.Mat()
  cv.resize(baseMat, largerMat, { width: 20 * baseMat.cols, height: 20 * baseMat.rows }, 0, 0, cv.INTER_NEAREST)

  const contents = `
    <p>
    base:<br>
    <img src="${matToDataUrl(baseMat)}">
    <p>
    larger:<br>
    <img src="${matToDataUrl(largerMat)}">
    `
  fs.writeFileSync('out.html', contents)
  console.log('written to out.html')

  baseMatSrc.delete()
  baseMat.delete()
  largerMat.delete()
})
ts-node cv-test.ts

Rebuilding Sources

OpenCV.js

Build (master) of opencv/opencv -- follow https://docs.opencv.org/master/d4/da1/tutorial_js_setup.html but use emsdk 1.39.0-upstream (See also opencv/opencv#19243 )

You can probably build from ts-experimental instead, but changes in embindgen.py may be unstable.

Typings

Modify paths in ts_generator/typegen.py:

  • opencv_path = "D:/prog/opencv" <- ts-experimental opencv clone
  • build_js_path = "D:/prog/github/build_js" <- compiled opencv.js directory
  • ts_gen_path = "D:/prog/opencv-ts/lib/typings/gen" <- where to generate typings (lib/typings/gen of this repository)
  • replace_wsl = True <- applicable when running gen on Windows, but opencv.js was compiled via WSL

Run npm run gen:types.

Note: Only Python 3.x is supported.

What Is Where

The actual generator in ts-experimental of peteruhnak/opencv consists of:

  • modules/js/generator/jsgen.py
    • this is code extracted from enbindgen.py and modified so it can be actually imported from other modules
    • adds docstring from hdr_parser.py (c++ header parser) to FuncVariant & ClassInfo
    • this file is normally responsible for generating bindings.cpp
  • modules/js/generator/tsgen.py
    • uses data constructed by jsgen.py/JSWrapperGenerator (Namespaces, ClassInfo, ...)
    • generates TypeScript files
