OpenCV.ai and ARM Collaboration Enhances Android
Support with OpenCV 4.9.0
PALO
ALTO, Calif., April 29,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- OpenCV.ai, the team behind the
widely used OpenCV library for computer vision, has announced the
release of OpenCV 4.9.0 through collaboration with ARM
Holdings. This new version brings important updates for Android
developers, making using OpenCV in Android apps more accessible and
ensuring better performance on ARM-powered devices.
Main Updates in OpenCV 4.9.0:
- Adding OpenCV to Projects: With this update, developers
can now include OpenCV in their Android Studio projects efficiently
using the Android Archive (AAR) package and Maven Central. This
means less hassle when starting new projects or updating existing
ones.
- Advanced Options for Experienced Developers: OpenCV
continues to provide the traditional SDK alongside the AAR package
for developers requiring advanced configurations, such as
incorporating opencv_contrib modules.
- Additional Features: This release updates Android
samples for compatibility with recent Android versions and
introduces new capabilities, including DNN-based face detection and
QR code recognition.
Why did OpenCV.ai and ARM collaborate:
The partnership with ARM focuses on optimizing OpenCV 4.9.0 for
ARM-based devices, which dominate the Android ecosystem. This
collaboration addresses persistent requests from the Android
developer community for OpenCV to be natively supported. Android
Applications can now leverage the full power of OpenCV, leading to
improved app performance and user experience.
What This Means for Android Developers:
This update simplifies the setup process for developers to add
powerful computer vision capabilities to their Android apps.
Advanced users continue to have the flexibility of SDK-based
integrations.
How to Get Involved:
OpenCV is an open-source project, which means anyone interested
can help make it better. OpenCV.ai encourages developers
worldwide to contribute, whether by adding code, giving feedback,
or just using OpenCV in creative ways.
Support and Future Developments:
OpenCV.ai also offers help with custom projects and
welcomes contributions to improve OpenCV. This support helps ensure
OpenCV can continue offering developers features and optimizations.
We strive to keep OpenCV contemporary, commercial-free, and a
favorite of the Computer Vision community.
