title: How to use Java OpenCV
body: <p>I am starting my final year project using image processing and was hoping to accomplish something like <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EPai5f2sWaA" rel="nofollow">this</a>. It's a combination of Human and Object detection.</p>
  
  <p>I really wanted to do it in Java because I have very little experience in C++.</p>
  
  <p>I found <a href="http://code.google.com/p/javacv/" rel="nofollow">JavaCV</a> which is a wrapper to OpenCV. However, it has very little support and virtually no documentation. So I was going to fall back and try to start using the native OpenCV when I stumbled across <a href="http://docs.opencv.org/java/" rel="nofollow">this</a> JavaDoc on the OpenCV homepage for Java OpenCV.</p>
  
  <p>My question is, how do I install / use this Java version of OpenCV? Has anybody had experience doing this? Does anybody have a better suggestion as to how I should approach this project?</p>
  
  <p>Any advice would be appreciated as this has been hanging over me for a while now.</p>
