OpenCV: Open Source Computer Vision Library
Cross-platform C++ library for real-time computer vision algorithms.
Learn more about OpenCV
OpenCV is a C++ library that implements algorithms for computer vision, image processing, and machine learning applications. The library is written in optimized C++ with bindings available for Python and other languages, allowing integration into diverse development environments. It includes classical computer vision techniques alongside support for deep learning models and neural networks. Common applications include real-time video analysis, object detection, image classification, feature extraction, and camera calibration across embedded systems, desktop applications, and server-based deployments.
Multi-Language Bindings
C++ core with native Python, Java, and JavaScript bindings share the same optimized implementation. Developers use identical algorithms across ecosystems without performance penalties or reimplementation.
Unified Vision Pipeline
Classical algorithms and deep learning models operate within a single framework using consistent APIs. Enables hybrid pipelines that combine traditional feature detection with neural network inference without external dependencies.
Cross-Platform Optimization
Runs on Linux, Windows, macOS, mobile, and embedded systems with hardware acceleration support. SIMD optimizations and GPU backends enable real-time processing from Raspberry Pi to server clusters.
