14 Computer Vision News Tool The interested reader can find the code in the LiveCV package itself (in the sample section). The LiveCV package comes with abundant additional samples, including interactive components which let you tweak parameters from the UI -- we strongly recommend you try them out. Lastly, it's worth mentioning that you can write your own wrapper in case there is an OpenCV function that do not already exist in LiveCV. It is quite intuitive and the instructions on how to do that can be found on the LiveCV website. To summarize: LiveCV is a tool which helps you learn and understand computer vision algorithms, with the abilities to combine algorithms and progressively achieve the desired results. It has interactive components used to tweak parameters and also includes support for cross-platform, executable scripts, libraries to link and extend existing C++ algorithms It works quickly and efficiently. As a portable stand-alone, it doesn’t require any installation and can be launched even from a USB drive, which is great for demonstration / teaching. Note that LiveCV is not reliable for replacing the developing platform (Visual studio for example): its purpose is for quick prototype familiarization of basic computer vision elements. It could be used for performing demonstrations in a teaching environment and getting a quick sense/feeling of various algorithms on your dataset of images. Tool
