Which language to choose for computer vision?

Question

Programming

for starters: I'm a programmer - php / javascript, dabbled with Java / C #
my soul wants to do stereo vision, face detection, face recognition and other abusive words in my spare time.
And all this on a mobile platform.

usually all this is done on OpenCV, which is in C / C ++. But C++ scares me a little with its low level.
I know that there are wrappers in Java and so on.

Questions:
1. Does it make sense to use OpenCV via wrapper (feature performance/relevance)?
2. On which mobile platform (raspberry, beagleboard etc) can stream from 2. cameras be processed?

Thank you!

Answer 1

I join the question about the PL, I am also interested in this, although the tasks, albeit close, are not the same. In addition, it's not bad that the same language can be easily adapted to work with 3D graphics on mobile devices (if not only on them, then this is a huge plus). The task is remotely similar to this one (but lies in a different plane) - we shoot a person with a camera, and then we get his rendered cartoon copy.

Answer 2

Without C ++ it still won’t do if you intend to use a mobile platform (Android / iOS).
