OpenCV is an open source computer vision library originally developed by Intel. It is free for commercial and research use under a BSD license. The library is cross-platform, and runs on Mac OS X, Windows and Linux. It focuses mainly towards real-time image processing, as such, if it finds Intel's Integrated Performance Primitives on the system, it will use these commercial optimized routines to accelerate itself. This implementation is not a complete port of OpenCV. Currently, this library supports : * real-time capture * video file import * basic image treatment (brightness, contrast, threshold, …) * object detection (face, body, …) * blob detection Future versions will include more advanced functions such as motion analysis, object and color tracking, multiple OpenCV object instances … For more information about OpenCV visit the Open Source Computer Vision Library Intel webpage, the OpenCV Library Wiki, and the OpenCV Reference Manual (pdf).

The Open Computer Vision Library has > 500 algorithms, documentation and sample code for real time computer vision. Tutorial documentation is in O'Reilly Book: Learning OpenCV http://www.amazon.com/Learning-OpenCV-Computer-Vision-Library/dp/0596516134
