No, it is accurate. He was at Intel when it was created, and meeting notes suggest that he had been leading the project.

thanks! -- I didn't know the history. these notes are from 2008 (long after opencv was open sourced) but it's clear from his linkedin page that he was a part of the founding team at intel.

Leading a project inside a company != creating the thing.

Sure it is! What else would it be? It was conceived by immaculate conception?
