OpenCV.NET is a .NET interface for the popular OpenCV computer vision and image processing library. These bindings were developed over the course of a year and include many features that have been missing from other attempts, namely:
- Cross-platform Mono compatibility (only P/Invoke is used)
- Very close to 100% support of the latest C API (including undocumented functions)
- Full documentation/intellisense for all supported methods, classes and enum members (arduously mined from many different sources)
- Support for exceptions
- Garbage-collector friendly:
- GC is aware of the actual memory used by matrices and images
- Pointers are guaranteed to survive function calls even if concurrent garbage collection happens
- Object model following C++ API as much as possible (towards future increased support of C++ API)
- BSD-style license (MIT)
OpenCV.NET includes native runtime package projects which depend on the official OpenCV redistributable binaries. These are downloaded and installed automatically by the build.ps1 file. Assuming a Windows system, to build the project with full runtime packages:
./build.ps1powershell ./build.ps1
