OpenCV
“Computer vision allows us to do things that were unimaginable just a few years ago, such as recognizing a friend’s face in a photo, diagnosing a disease from a medical scan, or driving a car autonomously.”
Fei-Fei Li, a prominent researcher in the field of computer vision and machine learning

What is OpenCV?
OpenCV, or Open Source Computer Vision Library, is an open source library specializing in image processing and computer vision. It is designed to provide a wide range of features for image manipulation, object detection, pattern recognition and more.
The importance of working with OpenCV 4
- Broad range of features
- Support for numerous programming languages
- Active Community
- Hardware optimizations
- Updates and bug fixes
- Advanced Development Tools

The great success of this library has made it possible to attract the interest of thousands of experts in the sector, many of whom are making many contributions to improve the code and performance of this library.
The OpenCV library can support different languages including C ++, Java and Python with also interfaces to be able to use it on platforms like Matlab. In our site we will use the OpenCV library exclusively with Python.
