JetBrains has formed a new partnership with OpenCV, the world's largest library for computer vision. As part of the collaboration, JetBrains has joined OpenCV as a Silver Member, making PyCharm the official Python IDE for OpenCV.
OpenCV (Open Source Computer Vision Library) is an open source computer vision and machine learning software library. OpenCV was originally an Intel Research initiative to advance CPU-intensive applications. It was built to provide a common infrastructure for computer vision applications and to accelerate the use of machine perception in the commercial products.
PyCharm is JetBrains' cross-platform Python IDE for data science and web development. PyCharm provides code analysis, a graphical debugger, an integrated unit tester, integration with version control systems, and supports web development with Django.

JetBrains says that now it has joined OpenCV as a Silver Member, its financial contribution will be used to ensure OpenCV's libraries remain free for both commercial and non-commercial projects.
The adoption of PyCharm as the official Python IDE for OpenCV is also significant. PyCharm's strengths include its smart code completion and deep code analysis, along with an AI Assistant, and JetBrains says these strengths will be especially beneficial for developers working with OpenCV, as it ensures that AI and data science projects are developed faster, more efficiently, and with fewer errors. The company's decision to become an OpenCV Silver Member is described as reinforcing its dedication to the advancement of AI and computer vision.
A JetBrains executive commented:
"By partnering with OpenCV, we're supporting a global ecosystem of developers working in AI and computer vision, ensuring they have the best tools and open-source resources available. Our collaboration with OpenCV reflects our commitment to advancing technology and empowering developers to focus on what matters: creating impactful code."
The new partnership and the adoption of PyCharm as the official Python IDE for OpenCV will be highlighted on OpenCV Live, a podcast that airs Thursday at 9am Pacific. PyCharm will be featured in episodes that showcase how its features can enhance the development process for computer vision and AI applications, beginning with an appearance on November 7th. Registration for the stream is available at http://opencv.live.
