About
 |
PoLAR is a project from people at Inria (Magrit Team) and funded by
an Inria Technology Development Action grant (2014-2016). It was written by Pierre-Jean Petitprez, as a main contributor, while he was an Inria research engineer at LORIA. He was supervised by Erwan Kerrien and Pierre-Frederic Villard, who were also involved in design and development. |
Features include:
- 2D and 3D objects visualization and interaction
- Camera flow and image manipulation
- Soft-body deformation
Advantages:
- Portability: PoLAR has been tested and used on Linux, Windows, MacOS and Android
- Simplicity: an API designed for CV specialists with detailed user guide including tutorials and examples
- Deformation capability: PoLAR provides an API to manage physics engines
- Sustainability: PoLAR depends on well-established Qt and OpenSceneGraph libraries, and is open source software
