Earlier quoted context omitted.

They wouldn't happen to be french cartography would they?

These should help narrow down the search, but ibfs commercial restrictions are now 404... and the original IP warnings seem missing/expired. https://github.com/openMVG/openMVG/blob/develop/COPYRIGHT.md https://github.com/cdcseacave/openMVS/blob/master/COPYRIGHT.... Personally, I recommend COLMAP + CloudCompare + MeshLab, but the Mozilla Public License 2.0 should address IP license issues if the author is also the rig…

Thank you for the recommendations, I'll return one myself:

OpenCV being in the list of Pyodide modules [0] was the biggest boon for my online teaching experience because remotely dealing with install woes (corporate proxies & cie) was a show stopper for regular Python. I'm hoping that they will package this new version and that it will bring the new neural networks engines goodies to the no-install crowd !

Same on mobile. I use Apple's Vision framework on-device to find people in photos for a printing app. Sending users' personal photos to an image-model API is a non-starter on privacy, latancy, and per-photo cost alone. Less flexible than a V-LLM, but for "find the people, give me box" it's instant, free, and works offline.

Image augmentations library Albumentations is heavily based on OpenCV, which allows it to beat torchvision, Kornia, PIL, and other similar libraries.

But there is still a huge room for improvement in terms of performance, as for some low level operations StringZilla or Numkong are faster, for some, especially for float32 images, numpy is the best.

The most annoying component is that OpenCV is limited to input shapes like (H, W, C), which limits its application to videos and volumes with shapes (X, H, W, C)
