AForge.NET is a computer vision and artificial intelligence library originally developed by Andrew Kirillov for the .NET Framework.

[citation needed] Another (unaffiliated) project called Accord.NET was created to extend the features of the original AForge.NET library.

[3] On April 1, 2012, Andrew Kirillov announced the end of the public support for the library, temporarily closing the discussion forums.

However, since its release 3.0 in 2015, the Accord.NET project started to incorporate most of the original AForge.NET source code in its codebase, continuing its support and development under the Accord.NET name.

A number of software applications[5][6][7][8] and research works[9][10][11] utilized the framework.
