Tapping into OpenCV to Process Images

OpenCvSharp is a cross-platform .NET wrapper of the OpenCV library used for image processing and computer vision algorithms from languages such as C#, VB.NET, and others. OpenCvSharp works on the Windows and Linux (using Mono) platforms. It's modeled on the native OpenCV C/C++ API style; that's why it doesn't force developers to write object-oriented code and allows you to make native-style OpenCV function calls. Comparing OpenCvSharp with EmguCV, I believe OpenCvSharp is the simpler and better supported platform.

Emgu Integration with .NET: Integrating Images

OpenCV is a very popular library written in the native C and C++ programming languages for processing images. Programmers familiar with the C# and Visual Basic.NET languages often face challenges in using OpenCV. Luckily for C# developers, a cross platform .NET wrapper to the OpenCV image processing library is available; it's named Emgu CV. This wrapper allows C# programs to communicate with native APIs of the underlying library that was written with unmanaged code. Emgu CV functions can be called from languages such as C#, VB, VC++, Python, and so forth. This wrapper can be compiled in Mono and run on Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, iPhone, iPad and Android devices.
