The GoCV package provides Go language bindings for the OpenCV 4 computer vision library.
The GoCV package supports the latest releases of Go and OpenCV (v4.12.0) on Linux, Docker, macOS, and Windows. Our ongoing mission is help the Go programming language be a "first-class" client compatible with the latest developments in the OpenCV ecosystem.
GoCV supports CUDA for hardware acceleration using Nvidia GPUs. Check out the [CUDA README](./cuda/README.md
