About

Wikipedia: OpenCV

OpenCV is an open source computer vision library originally developed by Intel. It is free for commercial and research use under a BSD license. The library is cross-platform, and runs on Mac OS X, Windows and Linux. It focuses mainly on real-time image processing, as such, if it finds Intel's Integrated Performance Primitives (IPP) on the system, it will use these commercial optimized routines to accelerate itself.
OpenCV's application areas include:
  • Human-Computer Interface (HCI)
  • Object Identification
  • Segmentation and Recognition
  • Face Recognition
  • Gesture Recognition
  • Motion Tracking
  • ...
