Is there something better than OpenCV?

The best alternative is SimpleCV, which is both free and Open Source. Other great apps like OpenCV are Accord.NET Framework (Free, Open Source), libdwt (Free), BoofCV (Free, Open Source) and ImageUltimate (Paid).

Why is an OpenCV better?

It enables you to manipulate pixels easily, so that you can build your own image and video processing algorithms if you wish to do so. With the rise of deep learning, OpenCV started integrating more functionalities that support deep learning based tasks by introducing a new module called DNN (Deep Neural Networks).

How good is OpenCV?

OpenCV is very highly rated because it includes state of the art computer vision and machine learning algorithms. The library has more than 2,500 optimized algorithms, which includes classic and state-of-the-art computer vision and machine learning algorithms.

What is the difference between OpenCV and SimpleCV?

OpenCV is a library that can be used with tons of different languages (C, C++, Java, Python, etc.). It provides standard things such as image capture, image manipulation, etc. SimpleCV on the other hand is a framework including several libraries (as far as I know not only OpenCV) and uses Python for scripting.

What is the difference between PyTorch and OpenCV?

PyTorch, Caffe, and Tensorflow are not directly comparable to OpenCV. The former are frameworks for making efficient computations that require gradients (e.g. neural networks), while the latter is a toolbox with mainly functions for image processing and geometry.

What is simple CV?

SimpleCV is an open source framework for building computer vision applications. With it, you get access to several high-powered computer vision libraries such as OpenCV – without having to first learn about bit depths, file formats, color spaces, buffer management, eigenvalues, or matrix versus bitmap storage.
