Open CV

OpenCV is a library of programming functions for real-time computer vision. Originally developed by Intel, it was later supported by Willow Garage and Itseez. OpenCV is cross-platform, free, and used for applications like facial recognition, gesture recognition, augmented reality, and object identification. It is written mainly in C++ but has bindings for other languages like Python. OpenCV can use Intel integrated performance primitives and GPU interfaces for hardware acceleration. It runs on desktop and mobile operating systems.

Definition
• OpenCV (Open Source Computer Vision) is a library of programming
functions mainly aimed at real-time computer vision.
• ]Originally developed by Intel, it was later supported by Willow
Garage then Itseez (which was later acquired by Intel. The library is cross-
platform and free for use under the open-source BSD license.
• History
• History
• Officially launched in 1999, the OpenCV project was initially an Intel
Research initiative to advance CPU-intensive applications, part of a series
of projects including real-time ray tracing and 3D display walls.
• The main contributors to the project included a number of optimization
experts in Intel Russia, as well as Intel’s Performance Library Team. In the
early days of OpenCV, the goals of the project were described
Applications
• OpenCV's application areas include:
• 2D and 3D feature toolkits
• Egomotion estimation
• Facial recognition system
• Gesture recognition
• Human–computer interaction (HCI)
• Mobile robotics
• Motion understanding
• Object identification
• Segmentation and recognition
• Stereopsis stereo vision: depth perception from 2 cameras
• Structure from motion (SFM)
• Motion tracking
• Augmented reality
Programming language

• OpenCV is written in C++ and its primary interface is in C++, but it still
retains a less comprehensive though extensive older C interface.
There are bindings in Python, Java and MATLAB/OCTAVE. The API for
these interfaces can be found in the online documentation. Wrappers
in other languages such as C#, Perl, Haskell and Ruby have been
developed to encourage adoption by a wider audience.
• All of the new developments and algorithms in OpenCV are now
developed in the C++ interface.
Hardware acceleration

• If the library finds Intel's Integrated Performance Primitives on the


system, it will use these proprietary optimized routines to accelerate
itself.
• A CUDA-based GPU interface has been in progress since September
2010.
• An OpenCL-based GPU interface has been in progress since October
2012.
OS support

• OpenCV runs on the following desktop operating


systems: Windows, Linux, macOS, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD.
OpenCV runs on the following mobile operating
systems: Android, iOS, Maemo, BlackBerry 10. The user can get
official releases from SourceForge or take the latest sources
from GitHub. OpenCV uses CMake.
