What is the best .net computer vision libraries anybody has used recently for different shape detection and bar code reading including reading pdf417? Most libraries have image processing capabilities similar to those found in Gimp and Photoshop, but not computer vision capabilities. Currently we are looking at a combination of Aforge and LEAD tools; anybody know of better alternatives or one library that could do what these two libraries could combined?
I found EmguCV and AForge handy.
EmguCV is the .NET ported version of OpenCV, actively maintained (using the latest OpenCV at the time i checked)
AForge used to be my personal favorite, it's developed ground up by Andrew Kirillov (sadly he announced the end of free public support on April 2012). Well documented and very intuitive.
A friend of mine has used OpenCV.net (a C# wrapper for OpenCV) for his Master's thesis (which was about hand gesture recognition) and found it very well developed and easy to use.
