OpenCV (Open Source Computer Vision Library) is a library of programming functions mainly for real-time computer vision.[2] Originally developed by Intel, it was later supported by Willow Garage, then Itseez (which was later acquired by Intel[3]). The library is cross-platform and licensed as free and open-source software under Apache License 2. Starting in 2011, OpenCV features GPU acceleration for real-time operations.[4]
