libCVD is a very portable and high performance C++
library for computer
vision, image, and video processing. The emphasis
is on providing simple
and efficient image and video handling and high
quality implementations
of common low-level image processing function. The
library is designed
in a loosely-coupled manner, so that parts can be
used easily in
isolation if the whole library is not required.
The video grabbing
module provides a simple, uniform interface for
videos from a variety
of sources (live and recorded) and allows easy
access to the raw pixel
data. Likewise, the image loading/saving module
provides simple, uniform
interfaces for loading and saving images from
bitmaps to 64 bit per
channel RGBA images. The image processing routines
can be applied easily
to images and video, and accelerated versions
exist for platforms
supporting SSE.
