OpenCV for iOS OFFICIAL

So no doubt if you even vaguely follow computer vision type stuff you’ve heard of the OpenCV library, and as we’ve mentioned occasionally people have been using it on iOS with some degree of effort for a while now; but as of the latest release (2.4.2) it’s officially supported:

…. opencv2.framework for iOS has been created. You can either download the binary from SourceForge or build it yourself using the simple guide. Also, you may be interested to look at some OpenCV on iOS samples, created by our GSoC 2012 students Eduard and Charu and read the slides of the tutorial

Speaking of tutorials, here’s a series just updated (h/t @romainbriche) for iOS to get you started nice and easy processing both video frames and saved photos:

OpenCV Tutorial – a collection of OpenCV samples for iPhone/iPad – Part 1

OpenCV Tutorial – Part 2

OpenCV Tutorial – Part 3

OpenCV Tutorial – Part 4

Code for these is on github at BloodAxe / OpenCV-Tutorial if you’re in a hurry.

And of course there’s the regular docs and the wiki and the code site and all that, but if you have any more up to date iOS-focused resources, please let us all know!
