## About OpenCV
OpenCV is a tool that has has C++, C, Python and Java interfaces and supports Windows, Linux, Mac OS, iOS and Android for computational efficiency and with a strong focus on real-time applications, written in optimized C/C++, the library can take advantage of multi-core processing and enabled to take advantage of the hardware acceleration of the underlying heterogeneous compute platform




## OpenCV Reviews
  ### 1. Mixed quality of algorithms but all in all becoming a de facto standard

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Industrial Automation | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 12, 2017

**What do you like best about OpenCV?**

A lot of high quality algorithms are available and due to the vast amount of users, it's easy to get help and find information, e.g. on stackoverflow

**What do you dislike about OpenCV?**

The quality and style of the included algorithms varies quite a lot depending on original author. A more uniform "look and feel" and stricter rules about documentation for accepted algorithms would be appreciated.

**What problems is OpenCV solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Image filters, fourier transformation, SIFT

  ### 2. Open Cv 

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in E-Learning | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 12, 2017

**What do you like best about OpenCV?**

the new feature of dynamic dispatching is good, also it can now be built as C++ 11 library using the flag ENABLE_CXX11. Provides good support for basic shape detection e.g Circle,rectangle etc.The relative upgrade in OpenCV helps speed improvement in our core & imgproc perf tests.

**What do you dislike about OpenCV?**

For images where lighting condition are not very good it may not work perfectly. POC for Text recognition ,result use to vary as per the picture quality and lighting condition.

**What problems is OpenCV solving and how is that benefiting you?**

As of it surely contributes to the project based needs.
