STAIR Vision Library
The
STAIR Vision Library (SVL) (codenamed
lasik)
contains computer vision research code initially developed to support
the
STanford AI Robot
project. It has since been expanded to provide a range of software
infrastructure for computer vision, machine learning, and
probabilistic graphical models. The code is maintained by
me (Stephen Gould) and a
small group of
core developers. It
was developed as part of my PhD studies under the guidance of
Daphne Koller and
Andrew Ng. A number of
contributions to the code have also been made by
colleagues and students working on
various research projects. The library builds on top of the
OpenCV
computer vision library and the
Eigen matrix library. For XML
parsing we use Frank Vanden Berghen's
xmlParser
library. Some GPU-accelerated functionality is also provided (via
Nvidia's Cuda libraries). GUI
applications use
wxWidgets. The
STAIR Vision Library is designed primarily for academic
research (although no restriction is made on commercial use). The
research nature of the library is reflected in the project structure,
making it easy for multiple student groups to develop code and run
experiments. We support both Windows and Linux platforms. Please
report any bugs (but check the list of
known
bugs first).
If you use the STAIR Vision Library in your scientific work,
you should cite:

Note: The development branch (and versions
2.5 onwards) of the STAIR Vision Library needs to link against OpenCV
2.1. Previous versions of The STAIR Vision Library were tested on
OpenCV 1.0 and may exhibit strange behavior when linked against OpenCV
2.1.
