OpenCV is an image processing and computer visual function library developed by Intel, which has the following features:
1) Open C Source Code
2) Optimized code based on Intel processor instruction set
3) Unified structure and function definition
4) Powerful image and matrix calculation capabilities
5) Convenient and flexible user interface
6) Support MS-Windows, Linux platform
As an open source project identified as a basic computer vision, image processing, and mode identification, OpenCV can be applied directly to many areas as the ideal tool for second development. However, before using OpenCV for commercial development applications, please read the public license included with the OpenCV package.
