All About Apple Vision Pro, Google Summer of Code, and more
Greetings from San Francisco to wherever you may be. In this edition of the OpenCV Newsletter: Join our panel discussion on Apple Vision Pro spatial computing headset, follow the progress of OpenCV 5 on our new GitHub work board, get 20% off on OpenCV merchandise this week only, and more. Let's go!
Apple Vision Pro: A Panel Discussion
This week we've got a little something different, a panel discussion between our usual hosts and a few experts in the field- familiar face Vikas Reddy and Bilawal Sidhu. This Thursday we'll be discussing the new Apple Vision Pro, its successes and failures, and the panel will share personal anecdotes and experiences of using the device.
Date & Time: February 29th, 9am (Pacific Timezone)
Topic: A Panel Discussion on Apple Vision Pro
Duration: 1 Hour
Watch along for your chance to win a free OpenCV Course during our live trivia segment, and participate in the live Q&A session with questions from the audience.
Bilawal Sidhu a creator, engineer, and product builder who blends reality and imagination using art, science and technology. His work has been featured by TED, BBC, The Verge, PetaPixel, Forbes, Benzinga, Esquire and more.
Vikas Reddy has been in the computer vision space for over a decade, first as a co-founder of Occipital and now as CEO of LightTwist, a company focused on amazing virtual production techniques that anyone can use.
Other ways to watch this Thursday:
The OpenCV 5 Progress Board
There you'll find the current tasks, TODOs, and completed work on our path toward the biggest ever release of the world's most popular computer vision libary, OpenCV. Each task is backed by an Issue or Pull Request in our organization repositories, so community members can dig in and read the reasons for certain changes, or make their voice head in the thread directly. We hope you'll follow along as we drive toward OpenCV 5.
OpenCV and CVAT Selected For Google Summer of Code 2024!
Google Summer of Code (GSoC) is a global, online program focused on bringing new contributors into open source software development. GSoC Contributors work with an open source organization on a 12+ week programming project under the guidance of mentors.
OpenCV has been a participant in Google Summer of Code for the last several years, and we're excited to have been selected once again! Also, this year CVAT is teaming up with Google Summer of Code (GSoC) 2024 as another of the 195 selected participants.
Let’s make some magic happen together!

Sponsor: Real-time Defect Detection Kit with Edge AI
Trying to solve a problem with AI computer vision and defect detection? You can save time and effort with Intel’s Defect Detection kit. It detects anomalies in real-time, making it shine in scenarios like quality control in manufacturing. You can use it for its computer vision capabilities or extend it even further by using it with a Dobot robot.
Best of all, it’s completely open source and uses Intel’s OpenVINO toolkit in the backend. You’re free to build on top of the sample app and leverage any code snippets you want from the kit. Anomalib is the main library that enables unsupervised anomaly detection here, and it’s also open source. With this combination, this defect detection kit can handle imbalanced datasets and account for rare or unknown defects that supervised learning cannot.
Beyond manufacturing, this solution can be applied across multiple industries, including healthcare, agriculture, and beyond. At its core, this kit is a starting point that melds computer vision, object detection, defect detection, and a touch of robotics as inspiration for your custom solutions. If you want to see how training, testing, optimization, and deployment ultimately look in a real-world scenario, check this kit out. You’ll detect defects faster and more accurately while improving security and efficiency.

OpenCV Community IDE Survey 2024
OpenCV is running our first survey of the new year. This will help us understand the needs of you in the community, as we move forward with OpenCV 5, and inform other initiatives large and small.
The survey will take fewer that 5 minutes to complete, and asks what IDE(s) you use while working with OpenCV. Please participate! These answers will not just help us understand the community, but is useful data for attracting sponsors and partners which can help support OpenCV's development.
We will keep submissions open for several weeks. Feel free to share the link around to ensure we reach the entire community.
