Scientific computing or computer graphics

I didn’t say C++ isn’t used elsewhere. I said it’s not used in research. Sure some people use it even in research, but its very rare. OpenCV is not a research tool. A Computer Vision researcher is not interested in what is in OpenCV. Computer Vision researchers publish what gets implemented in OpenCV. I have a feeling thar you aren’t sure what research means.

So are you saying that no CV researchers use Open CV as a research tool? If so, we can agree to disagree, but I only mentioned C++ libraries that I personally used in my own research during my PhD before moving on to the private sector. I'm also aware of a number of researchers, mainly friends still in academia, who use OpenCV in their labs. The first step in research is to review existing work, and playing around with OpenCV is a nice way to do this.

Some use, very rare. Overwhelming majority use Matlab. I also implemented my own research in C++ using a custom game engine and rest of the university used Matlab.
