The Qualcomm Computer Vision SDK adds new user experiences into camera-based
    applications through face detection, tracking, and recognition, text recognition and tracking,
    and augmented reality.

The Qualcomm Computer Vision SDK library offers a mobile-optimized computer vision (CV) library,
      which includes the most frequently used vision processing functions for use across a wide
      array of mobile devices, even mass-market handsets.

Middleware developers can use the Qualcomm Computer Vision SDK to build the frameworks needed by developers of computer vision applications. Developers of advanced CV application can also use the Qualcomm Computer Vision SDK functions directly in their application.

The Qualcomm Computer Vision SDK is tuned to take advantage of the Qualcomm^®^
      Snapdragon™ processor (S2 and above). This gives the most widely used, computationally
      intensive vision processing APIs, with hardware acceleration and better performance on
      devices.

Note: For downloading the Qualcomm Computer Vision SDK, see [https://developer.qualcomm.com/software/fast-cv-sdk/tools](https://developer.qualcomm.com/software/fast-cv-sdk/tools). The page contains tools and resources needed to get started, including a
      sample application to help kick start your development.

Note: The Qualcomm Computer Vision SDK support has been added into the platform. For
      including the CV processing into your use cases, see [https://developer.qualcomm.com/docs/fastcv/api/index.html](https://developer.qualcomm.com/docs/fastcv/api/index.html).
