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
In order to implement text recognition, I needed to use another library, Tesseract. It is an optical character recognition engine made by Google. There is also a .NET wrapper for this library. I had to use a few tricks to properly match arbitrary text with a library that is best suited for digitized books, and cleverly use page segmentation methods. You will find how I used Tesseract in this C# class.

C# Project for work
I think OpenCV is probably not the right application for what you're trying to do. You might try Tesseract OCR. In my experience OCR can be great at recognition when it's based on a crisp screenshot (usually it starts to struggle with scanned/photographed images).

Tesseract OCR in C# imagepath problem
I'm playing around creating a xamarin app which can take a picture and then recognize the text. The xamarin project is pretty much done. I've OCR part of the app is done in regular c# / .NET (not xamarin), specifically the Tesseract .NET wrapper from Charles Weld. But I've encountered an error which i don't entirely understand and can't seem to resolve.
