// Edge detection by Canny algorithm
using OpenCvSharp;

class Program 
{
    static void Main() 
    {
        Mat src = new Mat("lenna.png", ImreadModes.GrayScale);
        // Mat src = Cv2.ImRead("lenna.png", ImreadModes.GrayScale);
        Mat dst = new Mat();
        
        Cv2.Canny(src, dst, 50, 200);
        using (new Window("src image", src)) 
        using (new Window("dst image", dst)) 
        {
            Cv2.WaitKey();
        }

Features

  • OpenCvSharp is modeled on the native OpenCV C/C++ API style as much as possible.
  • Many classes of OpenCvSharp implement IDisposable. There is no need to manage unsafe resources.
  • OpenCvSharp does not force object-oriented programming style on you. You can also call native-style OpenCV functions.
  • OpenCvSharp provides functions for converting from Mat/IplImage into Bitmap(GDI+) or WriteableBitmap(WPF).
  • OpenCvSharp can work on Mono. It can run on any platform which Mono supports (e.g. Linux).
