# 🧠 OpenCV on Hugging Face

Welcome to the official Hugging Face organization for **OpenCV** — the world’s most popular open-source computer vision and machine learning library.

---

## 🌍 About OpenCV

OpenCV (Open Source Computer Vision Library) is an open-source, cross-platform library that provides a rich infrastructure for computer vision, image processing, and machine learning. It supports a wide array of programming languages including C++, Python, Java, and more. Since its launch in 2000, OpenCV has become the **de facto standard** for real-time computer vision and deep learning applications in academia, industry, and embedded systems.

**Mission**: To advance computer vision and AI by democratizing access to high-performance vision infrastructure.
