Since OpenCV runs on native C code, is it in way better optimised and faster than ITK's template approach.<br></div><div>How about using OpenMP (or any parallel processing ) with ITK ? Not an important consideration now, but I'd still like to know. OpenCV supports OpenMP but how about ITK.</div><div><br></div><div>May I
know the key differences and similarities between these 2 libraries and when is one more preferred ? <br></div><div>IMO, Itk seems to triumph over Opencv. But Opencv is still going strong. Is it more of legacy issue ?</div><div><br></div><div>I know my question is kinda biased but I do hope, i can get some honest answers. <br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Thanks in advance.<br></div><div><br></div></div></body></html>
