ofxCv

Why we included this project

ofxCv is the addon to reach for when you are building openFrameworks apps and want OpenCV's vision tools without fighting the type system. It wraps OpenCV so OF images and native OpenCV data can sit side by side, with toCv() and toOf() helpers that pass image data around by reference instead of copying it, which keeps the pipeline fast. You get familiar functions like Canny() or threshold() with shorter argument lists and cleaner names, plus a set of examples that double as working demos of common techniques. It is not a standalone tool; it assumes you are already living in the OF ecosystem, and it is a more ergonomic layer over OpenCV than the older ofxOpenCv addon.
