A C++ framework for machine learning and computer vision research. The framework includes a wide range of standard machine learning and graphical models algorithms as well as reference implementations for many of the algorithms described in the publications above. The code is released under the BSD license. If you are interested in contributing to this codebase then please email me.
[ version 1.5.1 | documentation | mloss | browse svn ]

A platform independent C++ toolkit for computer vision research (building on top of OpenCV). The library also includes many machine learning and probabilistic graphical models algorithms. We have released the code under the BSD license. Developed while I was at Stanford University, this library is no longer supported---much of its functionality, however, is available in the Darwin framework described above.
