CMake error: OpenCV not found when generating makefiles with CMake

Be sure that you have OpenCV >= 2.2.0 installed on your system (download here), included its sources and CMakefiles. If the error still persists, you should manually assign to the OpenCV_DIR entry the absolute path of the folder where OpenCVConfig.cmake is located (usually, <where is OpenCV>/build).


Runtime error: cannot find OpenCV shared libraries (.so, .dylib or .dll)

TeraStitcher needs the OpenCV shared libraries to be located in a path known by the O.S. If you are installing the binary version of TeraStitcher, please follow the instructions provided in the "readme" or "install" files. If you get this error after compiling the source codes, you need to add the <where is OpenCV>/<your architecture>/bin directory of OpenCV to your system (or library) path environment variable.


Which data formats are supported?

In TeraStitcher we have decoupled the volume format (i.e. how files are arranged on the disk) from the image file format (e.g. .tif, .jpe), which is handled by I/O plugins. This virtually enables to import any volume acquisition.

Please refer to the Supported volume formats and Built-in I/O plugins sections for the list of supported volume formats and image file formats, respectively.
