Computer vision library.

OpenCV supplies computer-vision and machine-learning algorithms for applications that work with images and video. Developers can detect objects, track motion, reconstruct three-dimensional scenes from stereo cameras, and stitch images into panoramas. The library is written in C++ and exposes interfaces including Python and Java across desktop and Android platforms.
