Khronos Group ratified and publicly released OpenVX 1.0.1 spec

The Khronos Group ratified and publicly released OpenVX 1.0.1 specification, a maintenance update to the open, royalty-free standard for cross platform acceleration of computer vision applications. OpenVX 1.0.1 integrates bug fixes and clarifications resulting from feedback from working group members and the wider industry implementing and using the specification. OpenVX enables performance and power-optimized computer vision processing, especially important in embedded and real-time uses cases such as face, body and gesture tracking, smart video surveillance, advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), object and scene reconstruction, augmented reality, visual inspection, robotics and more. In addition to the OpenVX conformance tests and Adopters Program launched in late 2014, Khronos is now shipping an open source, fully-conformant CPU-based implementation of OpenVX 1.0 that runs on Linux, Android or Windows. The full OpenVX 1.0.1 specification and details about the sample implementation are available at www.khronos.org/openvx. Members of the OpenVX working group are organizing an OpenVX tutorial at the CVPR 2015 conference in Boston that will be held in the afternoon of June 7th. The tutorial will discuss when vision developers might choose to use OpenVX, OpenCV or OpenCL, and provide an introduction to OpenVX by mapping example computational photography and driver...
