Code for Computer Vision Algorithms

The standard location for basic code for computer vision algorithms is the OpenCV Library from Intel. Many research groups build on top of this OpenCV code base. The avaliability of code for specific techniques or applications is harder to predict, but some implementations are made available by the authors. The following pointers are organized somewhat by what the code does. Follow the link for the larger reference and many related papers as given in the Computer Vision Bibliography. A number of lists of code for sub-areas (e.g. OCR) have been created by researchers in the past, but often these are no longer maintained. These lists are linked in the above listing. Current research and applications are highlighted in various general and topical conferences.
