You'll need OpenGL, glut, and OpenCV 2.1

DIRECTORY:

        util.h - Some headers and declarations for OpenGL
        |
        util.cpp - Definition of the createVBO function
        |
        texMapping.h - Declaration of texture mapping OpenGL functions
        |              and openCV functions. There are also some silly
        |              constants in there, I needed these for scaling my
        |              clicks onto the graphs. They're ratios for scaling
        |              the pixels to be between (0,5)
        texMapping.cpp - Definitions, the drawCvObjects function could
        |                probably use some tweaking...
        FindGLEW.cmake - CMakeLists.txt calls this to find the appropriate headers
        |
        CMakeLists.txt - Does all the building for us. You may need to tweak where
        |                CMake looks for the dependencies.
        |
        data - 
        |    |
        |    LVvectorField.png - Background for the OpenGL display
        |    |
        |    PvsT2.png - Background for the OpenCV display
        |
        build - Where the program is built

//--------------------Instructions----------------------------//

Once you've downloaded both the backgrounds and put them in the data folder, all you do is make a build directory and call cmake

mkdir build cd build cmake ..

This calls CMakeLists.txt from the previous directory and builds the binary files into the build folder.

// ---------------------- TO DO ------------------------------//

• I learned OpenGL for this program, so it's a little buggy and certainly not very clean.

• There are a bunch of constants I had to experimentally derive to scale the mouse clicks to the appropriate dimensions for both windows. I'm sure there is a better way to go about doing it.

• This could have eaily been written only in OpenCV, but then I wouldn't have had the excuse to learn OpenGL! =]
