Opencv

OpenCV is the open source computer vision library, first released in June 2000 and now operated by the non profit Open Source Vision Foundation. It contains more than 2,500 algorithms for image and video processing, object detection, tracking and related tasks, with an emphasis on optimized, real time performance. It offers C++, Python and Java interfaces and runs on Linux, macOS, Windows, iOS and Android. The library is aimed at developers, researchers and companies building vision features into applications, from robotics and industrial inspection to mobile apps. Version 5 is the current major release, and the project's recent material covers running deep learning models such as YOLO and RF DETR through the OpenCV DNN module. The site links to documentation, tutorials, a Q&A forum, a build farm, GitHub and a bug tracker. Around the library the foundation runs several programs: OpenCV Enterprise for long term maintenance, certified binaries and engineering support, an AI consulting arm, a members and partners program with Gold, Silver and Bronze tiers, free courses through OpenCV University, and periodic competitions. The library itself is released under the Apache 2 License and is free for commercial use. The foundation accepts donations. The home page does not publish prices for Enterprise support or membership tiers.
