Hybrid CV/DL pipelines with OpenCV 4.4 G-API
Modern Computer Vision (CV) and Video Analytics (VA) problems are solved with a combination of traditional methods and Deep Learning (DL). Deep Neural Network Inference becomes a crucial tool in the domain, but integrating it into the application and the further deployment is sometimes non-trivial —

Training A Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Detector From Scratch with OAK
Note: This article was originally posted on the OpenCV AI Kit Kickstarter campaign. OAK was started to solve a human safety issue- and that goal is still baked into the project. We also believe that in order to be maximally effective, this technology needs to be simple to use. One of the
OpenCV is to change the license to Apache 2
OpenCV 5 is coming out soon. This will be a major release to celebrate 20th OpenCV anniversary! Besides many new features and improvements that OpenCV 5.0 (and, in general, OpenCV 5.x release series) will bring, such as better optimization for various architectures, support for new deep learning
Computing Visual Perception to Enable Real-Time Object Recognition
Visual search has become a necessity for many multimedia applications running on today’s computing systems. Tasks such as recognizing parts of a scene in an image, detecting items in a retail store, navigating an autonomous drone, etc. have great relevance to today’s rapidly changing environment.
Introducing OAK: Spatial AI Powered by OpenCV
Update: OAK is now available on Kickstarter! AI technology is a new frontier, with limitless potential for the improvement of human lives. The OpenCV Artificial Intelligence Kit (OAK) project began life as part of CommuteGuardian, a technological solution to the causes of many bicycle -
