Quoting Javier Alejandro Martinez <[email protected]>:
Thanks to all for the replies, I would like to ask if OpenCV could be
proposed as an accepted dependency by IPOL, since it is a widely used
library in the field of image processing.
The code to be submitted also depends on GSL and BOOST, but these can be
included on the package to be submitted.
If you would like to check the code, it is available at
https://github.com/v01d/whycon.git
This software consists of a pattern localization system for mobile robots.
Dear all,
in my opinion we should allow GSL [1], since it implements many of the
operations needed in image processing or CV programs (eigensystems,
minimization, wavelets, linear algebra, least-squares fitting,
splines, etc).
The library now is in its major version 1, what means that is
considered to be stable. They have the compromise not to break the API
and being always compatible at the same major version.
It started on 1996 and since 2013 it hasn't gone to major version 1,
so I think we can expect the API to be really stable.
For the Boost library, I'm not so confident. They don't have any
compromise not to break their APIs and the library is being developed
very actively. In my opinion, we should wait until it's more stable
before adopting it. Hopefully, some of its parts might be adopted by
the C++ standard library.
And about openCV, I'd like to read to opinion of people that knows it
well and if we can expect its API to be stable.
