Other The rapid expansion of computer processing power groups have vision expertise but were uselessly recreating combined with the rapid development of digital camera vision algorithms that were already standard; OpenCV capability has resulted in equally rapid advances in provides experts with a solid vision infrastructure and computer vision capability and use. Intel has long been at thereby allows experts to work at a higher level rather than the forefront of enabling thi
