Benefits
OpenCV (Open Source Computer Vision Library) is a library of programming functions mainly aimed at real-time computer vision. Starting with 2011, OpenCV features GPU acceleration for real-time operations.
Officially launched in 1999 the OpenCV project was initially an Intel Research initiative to advance CPU-intensive applications, part of a series of projects including real-time ray tracing and 3D display walls. The main contributors to the project included a number of optimization experts in Intel Russia.
