Open Computer Vision Library (OpenCV)

The Open Computer Vision Library is a collection of algorithms and sample code for various computer vision problems. The library is compatible with IPL and utilizes Intel Integrated Performance Primitives for better performance.

YARP

YARP: Yet Another Robot Platform. Libraries and applications to support flexible communication between processes and devices spread across a local network. Especially useful for inhomogeneous networks with a mixture of operating systems and compilers. Originally developed for large-scale humanoid ... [More] robot projects such as COG, Kismet, and RobotCub, where many idiosyncratic devices need to be integrated into a single control system without there being any one OS that supports them all. Uses well-specified protocols across tcp, udp, shared-memory, and multicast, with binary and text-mode variants. [Less]

ros-pkg

Repositories of packages for ROS robot operating system currently under development by Stanford University and Willow Garage ros-pkg is a community repository for developing libraries that are generally robot agnostic. Many of the capabilities frequently associated with ROS, such as a navigation ... [More] library and rviz visualizer, are developed in this repository. [Less]

Willow Garage ROS Packages

These repositories hold ROS packages that are specifically intended for use at Willow Garage, and may thus make assumptions that do not generalize to any robot.

GStreamer OpenCV Plugins

A group of GStreamer plugins allowing for easy integration of OpenCV computer vision and image processing techniques with GStreamer applications.

libmv

Currently libmv is only for developers interested in contributing, because it is undergoing a rewrite. It is non-functional at this time. libmv is a structure from motion library, which plans to one day take raw video footage or photographs, and produce full camera calibration information and ... [More] dense 3D models. The first targeted application for libmv is to integrate with Blender to make the first open source matchmoving solution. Other matchmoving programs include Andersson's SynthEyes, 2d3's Boujou, RealViz MatchMover, Voodoo Tracker, PFTrack by The Pixel Farm, 3D-Equalizer by Science-D-Visions, Scenespector's VooCAT, among others. A high-profile application of structure-from-motion is Microsoft's Photosynth, which recently released their SfM source code as GPL. The launchpad site is deprecated and superseded by this code.google.com project. Matchmoving exampleHere's a sequence that was matchmoved with libmv1: input video, 2D tracking with UKLT (unfortunately it's impossible to see the track markers with the compression), Suzanne added with blender. Note that the old version is finicky, so this example required careful tweaking to successfully track. Developers needed!If you're a developer interested in helping, please join the list! There are lots of things to work on depending on preferences and skillset. Someone with Qt experience who's interested in making a basic GUI could make a big difference to the project. If you make a patch, please make a code review for it on Rietvelt and mail it to the list. [Less]

Stereoscopic Vision System

Given two images taken from different camera orientations, it is possible to determine the depths of objects within the scene. This is the same process the human brain uses to provide depth perception from one's eyes. First, a disparity map is generated, which is essentially an injective ... [More] mapping between the pixels of the two images. Given information about the orientation of the cameras, a depth map can be generated, which is the prerequisite for creating a 3D mesh representation of the scene. The Stereo Vision System is capable of automating this process. Additionally, an intuitive GUI is provided to enable the common user to process stereo image pairs at home using off-the-shelf hardware (e.g. webcams). [Less]

SimpleCV

SimpleCV is a Python interface to several powerful open source computer vision libraries in a single convenient package. With it, your software can have access to high level algorithms in feature detection, filtering, and pattern recognition in a unified framework. Forget about bit depths, file ... [More] formats, color spaces, buffer management, eigenvalues, and matrix vs bitmap storage. [Less]
