project page: http://thomasdiewald.com/blog/?p=1107

this library contains tools that are used in the field of computer vision.
its not a wrapper of openCV or some other libraries , so maybe you are missing 
some features ( ... which may be implemented in the future).

its designed to be very fast to use it for realtime applications (webcam-tracking, kinect-tracking, ...).
also, it works very well in combination with the kinect-library 
(dlibs.freenect - http://thomasdiewald.com/blog/?p=109 )... which i basically 
built it for ... to track blobs, generate contours from 3d-data, and else.

it should work in combination with other libraries too, since the blobdetection 
is very flexible and works with any given data-arrays.



the examples, that come with the library, demonstrates:
kinect 3D/2D tracking
a simple marker tracking
image-blob tracking

FEATURES:

- connected component labeling - blobdetection
- contours:
  continuous polyline
  a blob has only one outer contours, and can have endless inner contours
  the outer contour always goes in clockwise-direction, the inner ones go counter-clockwise

- convex hull
- double-linked-list (used for the covex hull for quick node adding/removing)
- polyline tools (simplification, areasize, length, etc.
- color class for fast generating/extracting of color components
