Description: computer vision library
 This package contains the OpenCV (Open Computer Vision) runtime libraries.
 .
 The Open Computer Vision Library is a collection of algorithms and sample
 code for various computer vision problems. The library is compatible with
 IPL (Intel's Image Processing Library) and, if available, can use IPP
 (Intel's Integrated Performance Primitives) for better performance.
 .
 OpenCV provides low level portable data types and operators, and a set
 of high level functionalities for video acquisition, image processing and
 analysis, structural analysis, motion analysis and object tracking, object
 recognition, camera calibration and 3D reconstruction.


Is that it, and is it current?  Or is it out of date. If so, what is the
current upstream version?

I am very very slowly moving towards a new release. No timeline as of yet,
and I probably start with just a cdrom and solicit comments for what should
go into a dvd. That next dvd release (whenever it may be ready) could
certainly contain opencv. 

I've added opencv to the todo.html list. Thanks for the suggestion!

Regards, Dirk
