Description:

with a sub-10% image classifier, a decent face detector, here comes ccv 0.7 BackstoryI set to build ccv with a minimalism inspiration. That was back in 2010, outof the frustration with the computer vision library then I was using, ccvwas meant to be a much easier to deploy, simpler organized code with a bitcaution with dependency hygiene. The simplicity and minimalistic nature atthen, made it much easier to integrate into any server-side deploymentenvironments.Portable and EmbeddableFast forward to now, the world is quite different from then, but ccv adaptspretty well in this new, mobile-first environment. It now runs on Mac OSX,Linux, FreeBSD, Windows*, iPhone, iPad, Android, Raspberry Pi. In fact,anything that has a proper C compiler probably can run ccv. The majority(with notable exception of convolutional networks, which requires a BLASlibrary) of ccv will just work with no compilation flags or dependencies.Modern Computer Vision AlgorithmsOne core concept of ccv development is application driven. Thus, ccv endsup implementing a handful state-of-art algorithms. It includes a close tostate-of-the-art image classifier, a state-of-the-art frontal face detector,reasonable collection of object detectors for pedestrians and cars, a usefultext detection algorithm, a long-term general object tracking algorithm,and the long-standing feature point extraction algorithm.Clean Interface with Cached Image PreprocessingMany computer vision tasks nowadays consist of quite a few preprocessinglayers: image pyramid generation, color space conversion etc. These potentiallyredundant operations cannot be easily eliminated within a mature API. ccvprovides a built-in cache mechanism that, while maintains a clean functioninterface, effectively does transparent cache for you. - How?For computer vision community, there is no shortage of good algorithms, goodimplementation is what it lacks of. After years, we stuck in between either thehigh-performance, battle-tested but old algorithm implementations, or the new,shining but Matlab algorithms. ccv is my take on this problem, hope you enjoyit.Licenseccv source code is distributed under BSD 3-clause License.ccv's data models and documentations are distributed under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License.Getting StartedDocumentationLibrary ReferenceDated Posts
