# Overview

Computer vision is the key technology to make things “smart”.

Computer vision technology is used in different domains and use cases, including but not limited to:

- Image processing
- Image transformation
- Motion and object tracking
- Object detection
- Feature detection
- Color conversion

The current Computer Vision (CV) offering from Qualcomm is OpenCV.

OpenCV as the developer-facing API allows developers to seamlessly leverage and port existing OpenCV-based applications to Qualcomm^®^ Snapdragon platforms.
For OpenCV details and tutorials, see [OpenCV](https://docs.opencv.org/4.x/d9/df8/tutorial_root.html).

|  | Supported OpenCV version | Current implementation |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Current release | OpenCV 4.5.5 | CPU-based without hardware acceleration |

Subsequent releases will contain Qualcomm-based accelerations of OpenCV APIs to improve performance or power on Qualcomm chipsets.
