Introduction to OpenCV

OpenCV stands for Open Source Computer Vision. It contains a library of programming functions for real time computer vision applications.Originally developed by Intel and now supported by Willow Garage.


It has C++, C, Python and Java interfaces and supports Windows, Linux, Mac OS, iOS and Android.

Goal : To provide a simple-to-use computer vision infrastructure that helps people build fairly sophisticated vision applications quickly.

Since its alpha release in January 1999, OpenCV has been used in many applications,products, and research efforts. These applications include stitching images together in satellite and web maps, medical image noise reduction, objectanalysis, security and intrusion detection systems, automatic monitoring and safety systems etc.
