HornetsEye is a Ruby real-time computer vision extension. It offers interfaces to do image- and video-I/O with ImageMagick/Magick++, Xine, firewire digital camera (DC1394), and video for linux (V4L).

The core of the HornetsEye library was rewritten. The new core features a much more versatile type system, extended element selectors, array views, and tensor operations. Maps, warps, and masks now work on single elements as well as sub-arrays. A conversion to OpenCV::CvMat and back was implemented. Furthermore a GNUplot example was added.
