Way
back in May of 2012 I posted about how OpenCV provides a foundation
on which anyone can build a machine vision product. (”Machine
vision off-the-shelf or DIY?”)
And then I stated my suspicion that the SmartVision software that
automation specialists ATS use in their systems was OpenCV-based.
Well it seemed a fair assumption, since their website said,
“leverages open source software such as Intel OpenCV.”
Apparently
though, as reader Nelson Bridwell of ATS pointed out, “ATS
SmartVision, which runs on Cortex, is in-house software, and does not
use any part of OpenCV, to the best of my knowledge”.
So
I stand corrected. But now I’m curious how a product can leverage
open source software such as Intel OpenCV yet not use OpenCV.
