BoofCV has been entirely developed by myself (Peter Abeles) and is based off my experience in developing computer vision and robotic solutions over the past 10+ years or so. The main motivation for this work is to create the tools that I wish I always wish I had in my preferred development environment. I hope to create a fast and easy to use computer vision library which is stable and relatively bug free. Java was selected for development because it's a much easier language to maintain large projects. Primarily due to the high quality of its development tools, which are still years ahead of anything out there in C/C++. While the ability to refactor and change the code's fundamental structure isn't unique to tools in Java, it actually works very well. That can't be said for C++ where every tool I have tried likes to occasionally destroy the code base after a refactor.

Most of BoofCV's development is self supported. In recent years I've been luck enough to find employers who are supportive of open source software. Contributions of any type are welcomed!
