Introducing OpenCV

OpenCV (short for Open Source Computer Vision) is a library of programming functions for computer vision. It was initially developed by the Intel Russia research center in Nizhny Novgorod, and it is currently maintained by Itseez.

Note

You can read more about Itseez at http://itseez.com/.

This is a cross-platform library, which means that it can be implemented and operated on different operating systems. It focuses mainly on image and video processing. In addition to this, it has several GUI and event handling features for the user's convenience.

OpenCV was released under a Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD) license, and hence, it is free for both academic and commercial use. It has interfaces for popular programming languages, such as C/C++, Python, and Java, and it runs on a variety of operating systems, including Windows, Android, and Unix-like operating systems.
