Hey everyone, I have just completed my first year of Master Degree in Computer Science, Computer Vision to be specific and currently I am using C/C++ for development. However, I really want to use Julia, it is as fast as C and as far as I see, it is much more easier to parallelize operations. The reason why I am not going to use for my Master Thesis Project is that it seems that there is no stable library I can use such as OpenCV. I am not really fan of OpenCV because it is too hard to debug the code. I have read and searched over the blogs and google groups and seen some topics about Computer Vision library but
- one of them was wrapping OpenCV library. - some of them decided to use Images.jl which satisfies their requirements. - some of the topics are kind of expired. This is the reason why I want to create new topic about that issue to take some attentions whether anyone has already progressed work that I can join and contribute. Otherwise, I am going to build a package for Computer Vision in pure Julia. Basically my initial plan is: - Create a core package for data structures, input and output. - Some image processing stuff such as Filters, Pyramids, etc. - Tracking Algorithms - Feature Extraction and Detection In addition to these, I want to add Machine Learning procedures such as Decision Trees, Boosting, Neural Networks, etc. Please correct me if I wrote something wrong and I really appreciate any advices and suggestions about this issue because it will be my first open source project. and I want something that is used and make some people's lives easier. Btw, I will call it Owl.jl. Thanks a lot. Mehmet -
