  Since it seems like the poster works for the company: the ads on this article are all semi-nsfw for me, more-so than the average GAd I see (is that something you can tune?). I reported them to Google but that might be a black hole.

  Additionally, why in the world does a technical blog for a for-profit company need ads?

  It looks promising.

  I like the way each algorithm is explained with minimal example and demo images.

  I'm looking for such a lightweight vision lib to embed simple image manipulation programs on tiny ESP32-CAM boards.

  OpenCV seems too heavy to integrate on such small devices.

  So far, I've been able to develop simple image processing programs with CImg[1] (simple filtering, image cropping, adding text).

  I'll try to spend some time exploring this SOD lib, thank you for sharing.

  Visit the url below for much of the same content but without ads. https://sod.pixlab.io/

  Note this is GPL which will make it a harder sell vs OpenCV in many cases. I'd guess they're looking to use the non-GPL for $$ model.

  Nevertheless, it looks interesting. It looks really nice for embedded where you don't always have the GPU for compute.

  Is there anything substantially different here from the way any modern post-processing shader works right now? For example: https://threejs.org/examples/webgl_postprocessing_rgb_halfto...

  How does it compare to dlib [1], ccv [2] etc.?

  Anything like this but for photo imaging manipulation?

  better than OpenCV ?
