What is OpenCV?

OpenCV (Open Source Computer Vision) is a cross-platform (Windows, Linux, MacOS, freeBSD) library of programming functions that are widely used to support the project development of applications based on computer vision. OpenCV developed by Intel, which is free under BSD license for both academic and commercial use. OpenCV libraries contain more than 500 algorithms which are widely used in image and video processing.
Now, in its development is supported by researchers from robotics lab Willow Garage. OpenCV based on C / C + + which can be integrated with a variety of programming IDE editor like code:: blocks, Eclipse, Qt, DevCpp, and others also support the python programming language.
For more detailed information please visit the “OpenCV website” or “OpenCV Wiki” and for a tutorial how to integrate OpenCV with “visual editor IDE” as codeblocks, eclipse and qt please read my tutorials on this blog.
