Phil Nelson from OpenCV discusses the organization’s activities from their booth at Display Week. OpenCV is known for its open-source computer vision library, which is maintained through community contributions and corporate sponsorships. The library is available under an Apache 2 license, allowing developers to fork it for proprietary software development, provided they acknowledge their use of OpenCV.

HDMI® Technology is the foundation for the worldwide ecosystem of HDMI-connected devices; integrated with displays, set-top boxes, laptops, audio video receivers and other product types. Because of this global usage, manufacturers, resellers, integrators and consumers must be assured that their HDMI® products work seamlessly together and deliver the best possible performance by sourcing products from licensed HDMI Adopters or authorized resellers. For HDMI Cables, consumers can look for the official HDMI® Cable Certification Labels on packaging. Innovation continues with the latest HDMI 2.2 Specification that supports higher 96Gbps bandwidth and next-gen HDMI Fixed Rate Link technology to provide optimal audio and video for a wide range of device applications. Higher resolutions and refresh rates are supported, including up to 12K@120 and 16K@60. Additionally, more high-quality options are supported, including uncompressed full chroma formats such as 8K@60/4:4:4 and 4K@240/4:4:4 at 10-bit and 12-bit color.

OpenCV also hosts a weekly webinar series and podcast called OpenCV Live, which has produced over 200 episodes. The show airs every Thursday morning and features guests and topics from the world of computer vision and AI. The content ranges from technical tutorials and new product launches to discussions about project development and unique applications.
For the second year, OpenCV organized the Asuka conference at Display Week, focusing on computer vision and AI. The event featured speakers from various industries, including Doug Fidelio from Disney Research, Sean Frain from Looking Glass Factory discussing their holographic displays, and Matt Flagg from Code 19, a professional autonomous motorsports team that races full-size Formula One cars.
Another notable presentation at the Asuka conference was from Oya Iran of Procter & Gamble, who discussed using computer vision for diaper analysis. The conference highlighted the diverse applications of computer vision technology across consumer products, entertainment, and high-performance racing.
At the AI Pavilion, the OpenCV booth was co-located with other entities, including Acceleratools, a maker of AI accelerator chips. While Acceleratools’ chips can run OpenCV, the library is not yet optimized for their hardware, with plans for future collaboration. The open-source nature of OpenCV presents challenges, such as managing a high volume of low-quality pull requests, a common issue for many open-source projects.
