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