 | |
| OpenCV Manager is an Android service targeted to manage OpenCV library binaries on end users devices.
 | |
| It allows sharing the OpenCV dynamic libraries between applications on the same device. The Manager
 | |
| provides the following benefits\:
 | |
| 
 | |
| #. Less memory usage. All apps use the same binaries from service and do not keep native libs inside themselves;
 | |
| #. Hardware specific optimizations for all supported platforms;
 | |
| #. Trusted OpenCV library source. All packages with OpenCV are published on Google Play market;
 | |
| #. Regular updates and bug fixes;
 | |
| 
 | |
| Usage model for end user

 | |
| First OpenCV app\:
 | |
| 
 | |
| #. Any OpenCV-dependent app is installed from Google Play marketplace or manually;
 | |
| #. At the first launch, it suggests installation of OpenCV Manager;
 | |
| #. Then OpenCV Manager is downloaded and installed, using the Google Play application.
 | |
| #. When Manager has been started, the application suggests installation of OpenCV library for the
 | |
|    target device architecture if it is necessary;
 | |
| #. After the installation is finished, the app may be launched.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Subsequent launches of OpenCV apps\:
 | |
| 
 | |
| #. Any OpenCV-dependent app is installed from Google Play market or manually;
 | |
| #. At the first launch, the app starts as usually;
 | |
| #. If the selected OpenCV version is not installed, OpenCV Manager suggests installing OpenCV
 | |
|    library for the target device through Google Play marketplace;
 | |
| #. After the installation is finished, the app may be launched.
