## Health v2 (maintenance only)
Score: 75/100 (v2, computed 2026-09-02T17:46:02.011165+00:00)
- activity 95, release rhythm 35, longevity 100
- inputs: {"age_days": 4159, "days_push": 33, "days_rel": null, "gap_med": null, "n_releases_24m": 0}
- flags: no_releases
- formula: round(0.45*activity + 0.35*rhythm + 0.20*longevity); archived -> min(score, 10)

## What it is
Rust bindings for the OpenCV computer vision library, generated automatically via Clang. It exposes OpenCV 3.4 (deprecated), 4.x, and 5.x APIs to Rust applications.

## Use cases
- use opencv from rust
- process images in rust
- detect faces with rust and opencv
- build a rust computer vision app
- read and write video frames in rust
- run opencv algorithms in a rust program

## When to choose
- you need OpenCV functionality in a Rust codebase
- you want automatic bindings covering most of the OpenCV API
- you need support for OpenCV 4.x or 5.x on Linux, macOS, or Windows

## When to avoid
- you need a fully stable, battle-tested API
- you cannot install system-level OpenCV and Clang dependencies
- you prefer a pure-Rust computer vision library without C++ linkage

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: computer-vision, image-processing, sdk
- domain: computer-vision, image-processing, machine-learning
- platform: rust, cross-platform, windows
- tags: opencv, bindings, clang-bindgen, video-processing, linux, macos
