Overview
Cloud Optimized OpenCV is a high-performance distribution of OpenCV, designed specifically for ARM-based environments such as AWS Graviton. Built with Kleidicv optimizations, this edition delivers significant speedups for fundamental computer vision operations, including resize, resize, adaptive gaussian, contour detection functions and more. These enhancements allow developers and enterprises to process images and video streams more efficiently, making it ideal for AI, machine learning, robotics, and real-time analytics. By leveraging hardware-aware optimizations, OpenCV Graviton Optimized reduces computational overhead and ensures better utilization of ARM-based processors. This results in faster execution, lower latency, and improved scalability across a wide range of vision workloads. Whether you are deploying applications in the cloud, on the edge, or in embedded systems, this build provides a reliable foundation for high-throughput computer vision pipelines. With its lightweight and performance-focused design, Cloud Optimized OpenCV helps teams accelerate development cycles while lowering infrastructure costs. From prototyping AI models to deploying production-grade computer vision systems, this edition combines the flexibility of OpenCV with the efficiency of Kleidicv-powered optimizations, giving you the best of both worlds.
Highlights
- Optimized for ARM based AWS Graviton processors and accelerated OpenCV build with Kleidicv enhancements along with further tuning of parallelization for high-performance computer vision workloads.

64-bit (Arm) Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.

Usage instructions
Launch the AMI
After subscribing, launch an EC2 instance using this AMI.
Recommended instance type: c6g.2xlarge (or larger) for performance on AWS Graviton.
Connect to the instance
Ensure your security group allows inbound SSH on port 22.
Use the default Ubuntu username:
ssh -i <your-key.pem> ubuntu@<public-ip>
Verify installation
OpenCV Graviton Optimized is preinstalled. Check with:
python3 -c "import cv2; print(cv2.version)"
Run accelerated workloads Example: python3 - <<'EOF' import cv2 img = cv2.imread("test.jpg") out = cv2.resize(img, (640, 480)) cv2.imwrite("out.jpg", out) EOF
Notes
Built on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS.
C++ binaries are also available and pre-installed
Best suited for AI/ML, image processing, and real-time analytics on ARM-based EC2 instances.
