opencv/3rdparty/readme.txt

This folder contains libraries and headers of a few very popular still image codecs
used by highgui module.
The libraries and headers are preferably to build Win32 and Win64 versions of OpenCV.
On UNIX systems all the libraries are automatically detected by configure script.
In order to use these versions of libraries instead of system ones on UNIX systems you
should use BUILD_<library_name> CMake flags (for example, BUILD_PNG for the libpng library).

                      In this build support for ZIP (LZ77 compression) is turned on.

                      No preprocessor definition is needed to make highgui use this library -
                      it is included automatically if either libpng or libtiff are used.

jasper-1.900.1    -   JasPer is a collection of software
                      (i.e., a library and application programs) for the coding
                      and manipulation of images.  This software can handle image data in a
                      variety of formats.  One such format supported by JasPer is the JPEG-2000
                      format defined in ISO/IEC 15444-1.

                      OpenCV on Windows uses pre-built libjasper library
                      (lib/libjasper*). To get the latest source code,

openexr-1.4.0     -   OpenEXR is a high dynamic-range (HDR) image file format developed
                      by Industrial Light & Magic for use in computer imaging applications.

                      OpenCV does not include openexr codec.
                      To add it, you will need install OpenEXR, reconfigure OpenCV
                      using CMake (make sure OpenEXR library is found) and the rebuild OpenCV.

ffmpeg-0.8.0      -   FFmpeg is a complete, cross-platform solution to record,
                      convert and stream audio and video. It includes libavcodec -
                      the leading audio/video codec library, and also libavformat, libavutils and
                      other helper libraries that are used by OpenCV (in highgui module) to
                      read and write video files.
