OpenCV (Open Source Computer Vision) is a library of programming functions for the realtime computer vision. OpenCV is released under the liberal "BSD license":http://opensource.org/licenses/bsd-license.php, it is free for both academic and commercial use. It runs on Windows, Linux, Mac, Android and has C++, C, Python and Java (Android only) interfaces. The library has more than 2500 optimized algorithms (see the figure below). It is used around the world, has more than 2.5M downloads and 40K+ developers in the user group. Real-life examples range from video surveillance to interactive art, mine inspection, panorama stitching and finally include the latest developments in advanced robotics.

*Recommendations for submitting bug reports:*

* Please, specify your platform (Windows 32/64bit, Linux x86/x64/ppc/..., MacOSX 32/64bit/ppc), compiler version, OpenCV version, whether IPP, OpenMP, MMX, SSE ... have been enabled or not, and any other information that let us identify and reproduce the environment.

* A sample code reproducing the problem helps us the most. Please check opencv/samples/c or opencv/samples/python - for the preferred style (small code size, cross-platform).

** There is *no need* to provide any project files or makefiles, if it is a short single-file sample, we could build it and run in a minute.

* If your application is complex, and the problem happens somewhere in the middle, often it is still possible to make a short standalone sample: 






    28

  1. First, capture and store the data that you pass to the function using cvSave(),

  1. then copy the function call and put the corresponding cvLoad() in front of it.

If we can reproduce the problem, we can fix it quickly.
