Why citing OpenCV in your research work

If you are using OpenCV in your research, it is recommended you cite the OpenCV library. This way, other researchers can better understand your proposed algorithms and reproduce your results for better credibility. Additionally, OpenCV will increase repercussion, resulting in a better computer vision library. The BibTex entry for citing OpenCV is shown in the following code:

@article{opencv_library,
 author = {Bradski, G.},
 citeulike-article-id = {2236121},
 journal = {Dr. Dobb's Journal of Software Tools},
 keywords = {bibtex-import},
 posted-at = {2008-01-15 19:21:54},
 priority = {4},
 title = {{The OpenCV Library}},
 year = {2000}
}
