Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Image Feature Detection and Matching using OpenCvSharp - First Steps Towards VinylEye
In a previous post, I have gone through the process for building a Docker Image for OpenCVSharp that supports multiple processor architectures.

Does there exist an API accessible from C# that detects faces in images?
Alternatively, you can get into the nitty gritty of face detection yourself. OpenCV is a massive, open source project for all kinds computer vision tasks. Without jumping into the proprietary world, this is one of the most popular and capable computer vision libraries available. While powerful, OpenCV is comparatively low level; giving you the tools you need to accomplish your task, rather than a direct, single method to call. This tutorial goes into depth on how you'd go about training facial models to create your own detection methods. You'll notice that the example is written in C++. The con with this option (aside from it being more complex) is that OpenCV is largely used in the context of C++ or Python. However, it does have C# wrappers. Emgu CV is probably the most popular .NET wrapper for OpenCV, though there are other wrappers available. Here is a nice tutorial using OpenCVSharp, which is a bit closer to the native C++ API OpenCV uses.

Compress/resize images
Another option for more advanced image manipulation - use OpenCV wrapper like opencvsharp. I haven't done much benchmarking, but from my understanding this is considerably faster option than anything made in managed code (like ImageSharp), but coming at the cost of native dependency and a bit more C++-style API and other quirks of OpenCV.

Universal UI testing based on image and text recognition
In order to do so, I had to learn about the basics of image processing. I was able to find an image within another with a technique called template matching, and I used an OpenCV wrapper made for .NET. I will not go through the technical details here, but you can find the relevant source code in my GitHub repository.

Universal UI testing based on image and text recognition
I started looking for UI testing solutions for desktop applications. I quickly discarded expensive UI testing suites. WinAppDriver was very interesting, but one of the requirements was to add some kind of identifiers on every UI element that we wanted to interact with. This would have required a huge effort from the team.

Appium and/or WinAppDriver are a newer alternative and pretty easy to use.
