What is OpenCV?
OpenCV is Intel® Open Source Computer Vision. It consists of a series of C functions and a small amount of C classes, and many general algorithms in image processing and computer visual.
Important feature
OpenCV is a cross-platform, high-rise API, currently consisting of more than 300 C functions. It does not rely on other external libraries, although certain external libraries can also be used.
OpenCV is free for non-commercial use and commercial use. (Details Refer to License).
OpenCV provides transparent users using the Intel® Integrated Performance Primitives (IPP). This means that it automatically loads an IPP library for some specific processors in real time. For more information on IPP, please refer to: http://www.intel.com/software/products/ipp/index.htm
