OpenCV on the Cell

Facedetect

This site is intended to provide information about optimization of OpenCV library for the Sony PLAYSTATION 3 (PS3) Linux. OpenCV is an open source computer vision library. Please refer to What is OpenCV?

In this project, we are developing the modules called CVCell that accelerate OpenCV Library for the Cell/B.E. processor.

CVCell is currently able to speed up some functions. For example, some arithmetic operations and color conversions run with the CVCell module about ten times as fast as when run with original code.

To get more information about the current status of this project see the Status page. To try the CVCell module please see the Installation page.
