Installation

Step 1: Download the latest project source code from svn

 >> svn co http://opencv-ossim-plugin.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ opencv-ossim-plugin-read-only

Step 2: Build OpenCV plugin

 >> cd /path/to/source/ 
 >> cmake -G "Unix Makefiles"
 >> make 

Step 3: Add the plugin path in "ossim_preferences" file

To add the OpenCV plugin to the OSSIM plugin bridge support, add:

 ...
 plugin.file1: /path/to/source/libossimopencv_plugin.so
 ...

Don't forget to set the OSSIM_PREFS_FILE variable pointing to the "ossim_preferences" file:

 >> export OSSIM_PREFS_FILE=path/to/file/ossim_preferences

Step 4: Check the plugin has been successfully loaded

  >> ossim-info --plugins
