Software library for enabling vision intelligence in mobiles

CEVA, Inc. has announced CEVA-CV, a new computer vision (CV) software library for the development of vision-enabled applications targeting mobile, home, PC and automotive applications. Optimized for the CEVA-MM3101 imaging & vision platform, the software library enables application developers to simply and efficiently add vision capabilities to System-on-Chips (SoCs) incorporating the CEVA-MM3101. CEVA-CV is based on OpenCV, a standard library of programming functions for computer vision processing. Including more than 500 of the most frequently used computer vision functions, CEVA-CV contains key CV kernels and algorithms required for application developers targeting mobile computing, PCs, smart TVs, natural user interface (NUI) devices and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). These functions include both simple CV kernels such as filters, histogram and affine transform as well as sophisticated CV algorithms including FAST, RANSAC, Connected Components and MSER. The complete set of libraries has been fully optimized using CEVA's C-level compiler for the CEVA-MM3101 imaging & vision platform. This significantly shortens development time and simplifies the development process by eliminating the need for the programmer to understand the processor architecture, allowing them to develop in high-level languages.
