OpenCV Introduces Enterprise Support for Companies Building Products with Computer Vision

Three service tiers offer long-term maintenance, OpenCV-certified binaries and direct engineering support. OpenCV remains free and open source.

PALO ALTO, Calif., Sept. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- OpenCV today announced OpenCV Enterprise, a paid maintenance and engineering offering for organizations that depend on OpenCV in their products. The program brings together support for established deployments, priority help with production issues and ongoing engineering collaboration through three tiers: OpenCV Enterprise LTS, OpenCV Enterprise Premier and OpenCV Enterprise Partnership.

Organizations can explore the tiers and register at opencv.org/enterprise.

OpenCV Enterprise builds on OpenCV's existing engineering collaborations with companies including Qualcomm Technologies and Arm. These efforts include strengthening native OpenCV support for Windows on Snapdragon through builds, automated testing and optimization, and improving performance on Arm-based platforms through integrations such as Arm KleidiCV. The Enterprise offering brings this platform engineering experience to organizations maintaining their own OpenCV-based products.

For companies building industrial inspection systems, medical imaging applications, robotics and embedded devices, maintaining a computer vision library is an ongoing engineering responsibility. An upgrade can require extensive integration and regression testing. Staying on an older version means continuing to assess security issues, maintain builds and resolve defects. OpenCV Enterprise helps companies manage that work within an agreed support scope and product lifecycle.

"Companies need to support the products their customers already use while continuing to develop what comes next," said Dr. Satya Mallick, CEO of OpenCV. "OpenCV Enterprise gives those teams a direct engineering relationship with OpenCV, with clear responsibilities for maintenance, testing and support. The library remains free and open source."

Three tiers for different product needs

• OpenCV Enterprise LTS — US$150,000 per year. For teams maintaining a stable OpenCV integration over a defined product lifecycle. LTS includes applicable security backports, covered severe-defect remediation, agreed regression testing, a named service owner and 10 engineering days annually. It helps companies keep established products supported while planning upgrades around their own release schedules.
• OpenCV Enterprise Premier — US$250,000 per year. For teams that need priority engineering support when OpenCV issues affect production or delay releases. Premier builds on LTS with a named technical lead, product-specific qualification, monthly technical reviews and 30 engineering days annually. It gives engineering teams a clear escalation path and additional capacity to address deployment-specific problems.
• OpenCV Enterprise Partnership — from US$400,000 per year. For organizations requiring continuing engineering collaboration across custom forks, platforms and hardware generations. Partnership builds on Premier with 60 reserved engineering days annually, an agreed development backlog and quarterly roadmap planning. Work can include optimization, fork maintenance, test integration and scoped migration or porting. 

Every delivered Enterprise binary will be certified by OpenCV

Certification ties each supplied binary to its source, build configuration and qualification results. Deliverables include signed builds, source and patches, a software bill of materials, test results, change notes and a release certificate for the supported configurations.

For companies maintaining private OpenCV forks, the service can also address gaps in automated testing and ongoing maintenance. An internal fork may not have the breadth of build-and-test coverage available through OpenCV's continuous integration infrastructure. Enterprise qualification defines the configurations and regression checks needed for the customer's deployment; it does not imply testing on every hardware platform.

OpenCV certification applies to the supplied software and agreed configurations. Customers retain responsibility for final product validation and any required regulatory or functional-safety approvals.
The tiers use three-year agreements billed annually. Initial qualification is priced separately, and support for older releases or private forks begins with a supportability assessment. Covered components, configurations, service windows and maintenance commitments are defined in the agreement.

Organizations can explore the tiers and register at opencv.org/enterprise. Registration creates no purchase commitment. OpenCV Enterprise is an optional paid service; OpenCV remains free and open source.
