Known weaknesses

Each one links to the public issue, changelog or docs page it came from, where we have one.

1. 01

   Limited language support, primarily C++

   The tool is mainly developed in C++, which can limit its accessibility to developers who are not proficient in this language.

2. 02

   Complex setup process for non-expert users

   Setting up the environment and dependencies requires a good understanding of C++ and build systems, which may deter beginners or those with limited experience.

3. 03

   Documentation is sparse and lacks comprehensive examples

   The documentation focuses more on technical details rather than practical usage scenarios, making it difficult for new users to get started quickly.

4. 04

   Performance may degrade with complex image data

   While optimized for speed in real-time applications, the tool's performance can drop significantly when processing highly detailed or large images.
