Computer Vision And Image Processing Development Tools

Computer Vision and Image Processing Development Tools 1. OpenCV OpenCV which stands for Open Computer Vision is an open source library developed by Intel. This library is cross-platform which runs both on Windows and Linux and mainly focuses on real-time image processing. This library is intended for use, incorporation and modification by researchers, commercial software developers, government and camera vendors as reflected in the license (Open Source Computer Vision Library).

Microsoft Vision SDK Microsoft Vision SDK is a library for writing programs to perform manipulation and analysis on computers running on Microsoft Windows operating systems. The library was developed to support researchers and developers of advanced applications, including real-time image processing applications. Microsoft Vision SDK is a C++ library of object definitions, related software, and documentation for use with Microsoft Visual C++. It is a low-level binary, intended to provide a strong programming foundation for research and application development. It includes classes and functions for working with images but it does not include image processing predefined functions. The Microsoft Vision SDK. (2000, May).
