Intel® Open Source Computer Vision OpenCV
What is OpenCV?
OpenCV is an Intel® open source computer visual library. 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 has a cross-platform, high-level API including 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 applications and commercial applications. (Details Refer to License).
OpenCV provides a transparent interface for Intel® Integrated Performance Primitives (IPP). This means that if there is an IPP library optimized for a specific processor, the OpenCV will automatically load these libraries at runtime. For more information on IPP, please refer to: http://www.intel.com/software/products/ipp/index.htm
