MeshLab is an open-source, portable, and extensible system for the processing and editing of unstructured large 3D triangular meshes. It is aimed to help the processing of the typical not-so-small unstructured models arising in 3D scanning, providing a set of tools for editing, cleaning, healing, inspecting, rendering and converting this kind of meshes. MeshLab is mostly based on the open source C++ mesh processing library VCGlib developed at the Visual Computing Lab of ISTI - CNR. VCG can be used as a stand-alone large-scale automated mesh processing pipeline, while MeshLab makes it easy to experiment with its algorithms interactively. The open source system for processing and editing 3D triangular meshes. It provides a set of tools for editing, cleaning, healing, inspecting, rendering, texturing and converting meshes. It offers features for processing raw data produced by 3D digitization tools/devices and for preparing models for 3D printing.

reacTIVision is a computer vision framework for the fast and robust tracking of markers attached on physical objects, and the creation of multi-touch surfaces. It was designed for the rapid development of table-based tangible user interfaces.

GLMixer performs real time graphical blending of several movie clips and of computer generated graphics. Drop video files in the mixing workspace and place them in a circular area to change their opacity ; if you selects two videos, moving them together performs a fading transition. This principle generalizes to a large number of videos. Direct interaction with the video allows to be fast and reactive, and to move and deform them on screen. The output of your operations is shown in the output window, typically displayed in full-screen on an external monitor or a projector. But the output can also be saved as a video file. Control GLMixer through network using OpenSoundControl, and generate graphics with ShaderToy GLSL code.

GPUImage 2 is the second generation of the GPUImage framework, an open source project for performing GPU-accelerated image and video processing on Mac, iOS, and now Linux. The original GPUImage framework was written in Objective-C and targeted Mac and iOS, but this latest version is written entirely in Swift and can also target Linux and future platforms that support Swift code. The objective of the framework is to make it as easy as possible to set up and perform realtime video processing or machine vision against image or video sources. By relying on the GPU to run these operations, performance improvements of 100X or more over CPU-bound code can be realized. This is particularly noticeable in mobile or embedded devices. On an iPhone 4S, this framework can easily process 1080p video at over 60 FPS. On a Raspberry Pi 3, it can perform Sobel edge detection on live 720p video at over 20 FPS.

Dozzle is a lightweight, self-hosted web application for real-time viewing and monitoring of container logs, focused on speed and simplicity rather than building a full log storage pipeline. Instead of indexing or storing logs, it connects to your container runtime and streams live output so you can diagnose issues as they happen. The interface includes practical quality-of-life features like fuzzy searching for containers, regex log search, split-screen viewing for multiple logs, and live stats such as CPU and memory usage. It supports more advanced analysis through an in-browser SQL query engine for querying logs, which helps when you need structured filtering without exporting data elsewhere. Dozzle also supports multi-user authentication and can integrate with proxy-forward authorization setups for deployments behind gateways. For larger environments, it can monitor multiple hosts via an agent mode and supports orchestrators like Docker Swarm and Kubernetes.

Norish is a realtime, self-hosted recipe and meal-planning app built for families, friends, and collaborative cooks who want to maintain a shared catalogue of recipes and grocery lists. The project emphasizes simplicity and immediacy, syncing changes across multiple clients using WebSockets so that updates to recipes, groceries, or meal plans appear instantly for all users. The app allows users to import recipes from URLs and even fallback to AI parsing when needed, with multimedia support that includes video import from popular platforms when AI is configured. Norish also handles grocery list management with recurring items and calendar meal planning, giving household groups an organized view of upcoming meals. Built with modern web technologies and designed for self-hosting, the app includes support for single sign-on via OIDC providers, a mobile-friendly interface, and user permissions for editing or viewing recipes and lists.

New version 0.5.2.1 Released December 29th 2025. Snowmix is a Swiss army knife tool for mixing live and recorded video and audio feeds. It supports 2D and 3D clipping, scaling and transparent overlay of video, png graphics and text. It supports animation of video, images and texts through native commands changing scale, placement, transparency and rotation. Animation and actions can also be controlled through native scripting and an embedded Tcl and/or Python interpreter. Snowmix is designed for control over low bandwidth links and can work as a standalone CLI based program. Control over both CLI and a TCP connections. Video input and outputs can be done through GStreamer pipelines or the GStreamer shmsrc/shmsink API. Supported for Ubuntu, Mint, Debian, Alma, CentOS, Fedora, Rocky, Mageia, Manjaro, MX Linux, OpenSUSE, EndeavourOS and macOS/OS X. Free support in the discussion forum.
