Image Processing:

Image Processing is a technique by which we scan and recognized the objects of  real world and transform them into digital schema for any kind of processing upon them.

Most widely used Image Processing libraries for programmers is OpenCV, Open Computer Vision is a open source project natively written in C++.

OpenCV is released under a BSD (Berkeley Software Distribution) license and hence it’s free for both academic and commercial use. 

Language Support:

It has C++, C, Python and Java interfaces and supports Windows, Linux, Mac OS, iOS and Android. OpenCV was designed for computational efficiency and with a strong focus on real-time applications. 

Adoption:

Adopted all around the world, OpenCV has more than 47 thousand people of user community and estimated number of downloads exceeding 9 million.
Usage ranges from interactive art, to mines inspection, stitching maps on the web or through advanced robotics.
