Hey there, fellow Gophers! If you’ve worked with computer vision in Go, you know GoCV is fantastic for accessing OpenCV’s power.
But the reality? Boilerplate everywhere: camera setup, Mat management, window handling, resource leaks, and recompiling just to tweak a parameter. It’s not exactly “fun.”
That’s why I created GoCVKit—a modular framework that makes real-time CV prototyping smooth, efficient, and genuinely enjoyable.
What is GoCVKit? GoCVKit is a clean, idiomatic layer on top of GoCV for live camera or video streams. It handles the heavy lifting so you can focus on ideas, not plumbing.
Key features: • Zero boilerplate: Full apps in ≤10 lines. • Hot-reload config: Edit config.toml and changes apply instantly—no restarts. • Performance-focused: Double-buffered p…

What is GoCVKit? GoCVKit is a clean, idiomatic layer on top of GoCV for live camera or video streams. It handles the heavy lifting so you can focus on ideas, not plumbing.
Key features: • Zero boilerplate: Full apps in ≤10 lines. • Hot-reload config: Edit config.toml and changes apply instantly—no restarts. • Performance-focused: Double-buffered pipelines with zero per-frame allocations. • Extensible: Built-in processors (Grayscale, GaussianBlur, Canny, Sobel, etc.) plus easy custom filters. • Quality-of-life extras: Video recording, toggleable FPS overlay, frame callbacks, graceful shutdown, and seamless input switching (webcam or file).
Why I Built This Go is perfect for CV: fast, concurrent, and easy to deploy. But raw GoCV meant rewriting the same scaffolding repeatedly. GoCVKit eliminates that pain, making it ideal for: • Rapid prototyping • Teaching and demos • Live presentations • Real-time vision apps • Anyone who wants to stay sane while experimenting
