What is OpenCV?

OpenCV is a library of programming functions that focuses on real-time computer vision. It was developed by Intel in June in the year 2000. It is an open-source cross-platform library that is free to use. It supports several deep learning platforms such as TensorFlow, Torch/PyTorch, Caffe, etc. It has numerous applications such as 2D and 3D feature toolkits, facial recognition systems, object identification, motion reality, augmented reality, etc.

OpenCV is an open-source computer vision and machine learning library that is released under BSD. It is built to provide the infrastructure for building computer vision applications. It is also used to accelerate the use of machine perception in the applications. It was originally developed by Intel, then later by Itseez. This cross-platform library supports other deep learning frameworks such as TensorFlow, PyTorch, and Caffe. This library is primarily written in C++.
