OpenCV (Open Source Computer Vision Library) is a widely used open-source library designed for real-time computer vision and image processing tasks. It offers a comprehensive suite of tools and algorithms that facilitate tasks such as object detection, image segmentation, and facial recognition.

Features of OpenCV:

• OpenCV provides a rich set of pre-built functions for a variety of computer vision tasks, making development faster and more efficient.
• The library supports multiple programming languages, including C++, Python, and Java, enabling flexibility in application development.
• It offers real-time image and video processing capabilities, suitable for both research and industrial applications.
• OpenCV integrates well with other libraries and tools, enhancing its versatility in various projects.

To Check version and installtion of OpenCV run following commands on your VM :
$sudo su
$cd /opt/python-envs
$source /opt/python-envs/myenv/bin/activate
$python -c "import cv2; print(cv2.__version__)"
