Blissful Friday, OpenCV group! Neighborhood Friday is our showcase of fascinating and enjoyable tasks as submitted by you! For those who’ve seen or made a mission which makes use of OpenCV you need to see on Neighborhood Friday, ship it to us by filling out the submission kind. In the present day we’ll be exhibiting a brand new tutorial on the right way to use Rerun with OpenCV, a glance again at OpenCV’s twentieth anniversary, our webinar about ROSCon 2023, and how one can assist maintain OpenCV free by supporting our IndieGoGo marketing campaign.
Use OpenCV With Rerun, An Superior Information Visualizer
Our pals at Rerun have launched model 0.11 of their thrilling information visualization instrument. Among the many adjustments are a brand new “Seen Time Vary” characteristic, and a npm package deal of their glorious internet viewer. You might bear in mind Rerun have been our visitors on OpenCV Reside episode 94, which you’ll be able to watch on our YouTube channel.
Most significantly for us, together with the brand new launch they’ve printed a minimal C++ instance of utilizing Rerun along with OpenCV (C++ model) and Eigen. See their GitHub for a full instance
Dr. Andrew Ng on OpenCV
As a part of OpenCV’s twentieth anniversary, OpenCV group member and AI legend Dr. Andrew Ng took a couple of moments to speak concerning the significance of open supply in science and expertise:
“Within the software program world, all of us stand on the shoulders of giants and it’s by sharing our work and constructing on one another’s work that collectively as a group we are able to construct these wonderful software program merchandise. I feel OpenCV has been one essential constructing block constructed by giants that I feel all of us ought to really feel privileged to have the ability to stand on their shoulders.”

You’ll be able to watch our full interview with Dr. Ng on the official OpenCV YouTube channel.
Pledge To Assist OpenCV
Right here’s the quick model of superior stuff coming to OpenCV in model 5: A brand new Deep Neural Community (DNN) module, Accelerated picture processing, Truetype font assist with full Unicode assist, Improved assist for fisheye digital camera calibration and multi-camera assist, higher assist for depth cameras, new packages, higher optimization for AMD CPUs and GPUs, a lot wanted code refactoring and new tutorials for the brand new model.
Now we have simply 16 days left in our marketing campaign to maintain OpenCV free for everybody and now we have raised simply $48,796 towards our $500,000 aim. We all know $500k shouldn’t be a small factor to ask- however we’re asking as a result of it’s what we have to not simply pay the core builders who will produce OpenCV 5 however to make sure that we are able to do it the Open Supply free-access method as we at all times have. The perfect factor you are able to do is contribute personally: Go to our marketing campaign web page, enter your e-mail, and contribute to the marketing campaign. Each contribution, irrespective of how huge or small, makes a distinction.
How Else You Can Assist OpenCV
Right here’s how else you’ll be able to assist the marketing campaign, should you can’t afford to contribute financially or have already got:
- Observe OpenCV and share our posts concerning the marketing campaign on LinkedIn, Twitter, and Mastodon.
- Signal Up To Volunteer: Fill out the volunteer software kind, and tell us how one can assist with the marketing campaign. Thanks to the 100+ who’ve already signed as much as volunteer! The extra the merrier!

- Make a private put up in your social media accounts about why you’re feeling it’s essential to assist OpenCV. Embody a hyperlink to the marketing campaign web page at http://igg.me/at/opencv5. Don’t neglect the hashtags #FreeOpenCV, #ILoveOpenCV, and even simply #OpenCV.
We are able to’t stress sufficient how essential this marketing campaign is to the way forward for OpenCV however to all open supply laptop imaginative and prescient and synthetic intelligence. The world is watching, and we need to present that there’s a future in preserving probably the most consequential technological advances out there free to all. Despite the fact that we’re behind our aim, we nonetheless imagine. Each share, each dialog, each private be aware means rather a lot. We hope you’ll assist.
See What The ROS Neighborhood Is Up To on OpenCV Reside
Kat Scott, Developer Advocate at ROS, joined Phil Nelson on OpenCV Reside for a enjoyable present and inform about every little thing that went on at ROSCon 2023 in New Orleans. Kat additionally shared some private tales and tell us that subsequent yr ROSCon might be in Denmark!
