Glad Friday, OpenCV group! Group Friday is our showcase of attention-grabbing and enjoyable initiatives as submitted by you! In case you’ve seen or made a venture which makes use of OpenCV you need to see on Group Friday, ship it to us by filling out the submission kind. In the present day we’ll be exhibiting a brand new tutorial on the right way to use Rerun with OpenCV, a glance again at OpenCV’s 20th anniversary, our webinar about ROSCon 2023, and how one can assist hold OpenCV free by supporting our IndieGoGo marketing campaign.
Use OpenCV With Rerun, An Superior Information Visualizer
Our associates at Rerun have launched model 0.11 of their thrilling knowledge visualization software. Among the many adjustments are a brand new “Seen Time Vary” function, and a npm package deal of their glorious internet viewer. You could bear in mind Rerun have been our visitors on OpenCV Reside episode 94, which you’ll watch on our YouTube channel.
Most significantly for us, together with the brand new launch they’ve revealed a minimal C++ instance of utilizing Rerun along with OpenCV (C++ model) and Eigen. See their GitHub for a full instance
Dr. Andrew Ng on OpenCV
As a part of OpenCV’s 20th anniversary, OpenCV group member and AI legend Dr. Andrew Ng took just a few moments to speak in regards to the significance of open supply in science and expertise:
“Within the software program world, all of us stand on the shoulders of giants and it’s by sharing our work and constructing on one another’s work that collectively as a group we will construct these wonderful software program merchandise. I feel OpenCV has been one essential constructing block constructed by giants that I feel all of us ought to really feel privileged to have the ability to stand on their shoulders.”

Pledge To Assist OpenCV
Right here’s the quick model of superior stuff coming to OpenCV in model 5: A brand new Deep Neural Community (DNN) module, Accelerated picture processing, Truetype font help with full Unicode help, Improved help for fisheye digital camera calibration and multi-camera help, higher help for depth cameras, new packages, higher optimization for AMD CPUs and GPUs, a lot wanted code refactoring and new tutorials for the brand new model.
Now we have simply 16 days left in our marketing campaign to maintain OpenCV free for everybody and we have now raised simply $48,796 towards our $500,000 objective. We all know $500ok isn’t a small factor to ask- however we’re asking as a result of it’s what we have to not simply pay the core builders who will produce OpenCV 5 however to make sure that we will do it the Open Supply free-access manner as we at all times have.
