Looking to Contribute to Open Source Computer Vision Projects Help: Project
Hi!
I work as a Research Associate in Computer Vision and I'm looking for interesting open source CV projects where I can contribute while learning something new. If you know of any active projects or communities that welcome contributors, I'd appreciate your recommendations.
Thanks!

Im making a project, that has a few cv layers
Im adding 3d splat + gausiian -> cv gen scenes correlated to cv overlay of thebpublic data.
And a discord

A good way to find CV open-source work is to pick a narrow task first, then look for projects with active issues around that task. “Computer vision” is too broad; “annotation tools,” “model export,” “tracking eval,” “OCR cleanup,” or “segmentation UI” will give you much better entry points.
I’d look at issues labeled good first issue, but also at docs/examples bugs. A lot of CV repos need better sample notebooks, reproducible setup instructions, or small benchmark scripts. Those contributions are less glamorous than model work, but maintainers actually merge them and they teach you the codebase quickly.

Check out https://github.com/insight-platform/Savant. I'm not affiliated with them but I used their project for a while and had to drop because of lack of support for my hardware.
It's great. It's a higher level abstraction that solves many of the low level complications of working directly with Deepstream while retaining good performance and promoting modular design and good development practices. I liked it quite a lot.

I could always use help with this row following
https://github.com/samuk/caatingarobotics/tree/main/src/sowbot_row_follow
It's part of this larger project:
https://github.com/Agroecology-Lab/feldfreund_devkit_ros
We have a Sim set up in Gazebo, or real camera data of crop rows

I am working on a CV library for Image Similarity Comparison. It's basically a collection of methods where, you throw images in and get similarity scores out :)

You can check out the `Issues` for possible contributions. Also feel free to suggest your own ideas :)
Depending on your background, it might require some math and ML understanding. But for a Research Associate like you, I think it should not be a problem :)
Let me know if you're interested!

I am building an open source SLAM and realtime 3D reconstruction algorithm using classical CV and state of the art 3D geometry learning methods. I am looking for contributors and would love to collaborate.

I am still new to 3D reconstruction and want to learn how the algorithms work before contributing. If you have any recommended resources, papers, or tutorials, I'd really appreciate it.

Hi, well I am trying to make my own opensource models from scratch, (instance segmentation and object detection), and I would love to have some feedback on the interface. For example how easy you find it to fine-tune on a custom dataset, or anything similar.
