Open Source C# Frameworks for Linux

Emgu CV is a cross platform .Net wrapper to the OpenCV image processing library. Allowing OpenCV functions to be called from .NET compatible languages such as C#, VB, VC++, IronPython etc. The wrapper can be compiled in Mono and run on Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, iPhone, iPad and Android devices.

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.

SkiaSharp is a cross-platform 2D graphics API for .NET platforms based on Google's Skia Graphics Library. It provides a comprehensive 2D API that can be used across mobile, server and desktop models to render images. Building SkiaSharp is mostly straight forward. The main issue is the multiple dependencies for each platform. However, these are easy to install as they are found on the various websites. If you are just working on managed code, it is even easier as there mays to skip all the native builds. Because there are multiple distros of Linux, and we cannot possibly support them all, we have a separate NuGet package that will contain the supported binaries for a few distros.

The Accord.NET Framework is a .NET machine learning framework combined with audio and image processing libraries completely written in C#. It is a complete framework for building production-grade computer vision, computer audition, signal processing and statistics applications even for commercial use. A comprehensive set of sample applications provide a fast start to get up and running quickly, and extensive documentation and a wiki help fill in the details. The Accord.NET project provides machine learning, statistics, artificial intelligence, computer vision and image processing methods to .NET. It can be used on Microsoft Windows, Xamarin, Unity3D, Windows Store applications, Linux or mobile. After merging with the AForge.NET project, the framework now offers a unified API for learning/training machine learning models that is both easy to use and extensible.

Sort, filter and aggregate lists of business objects without all the boring code! This library provides a powerful "view" approach to data binding .NET objects to user interface controls.

Icarus Scene Engine is a cross-platform, CLS-compliant 3D framework, integrating open source APIs into a cohesive all-open-source, all .NET solution. For Windows, MacOSX & Linux. Uses OpenTK, OpenGL, OpenAL APIs for graphics and audio. Runs on Mono/.NET. Links to FFMpeg for streaming video, and FreeType as a temporary conversion mod to bring fonts into a native XML format. Binary builds of Icarus will be infrequent, roughly every 18 months or so, the GIT code updates regularly on a weekly or twice-weekly basis (or faster if there are urgent issues).

ColladaLoader is a free open source C# Library that enables developers to load and display Collada 3D Model files (.DAE) in DirectX 10 using the SlimDX SDK. Partitial .X file support. More info: http://www.tomsdevshack.be/projects/colladaloader

Library to generate SVG primitives from within ASP.net

Intended to be a cross-platform 3D engine and toolkit using the Tao framework and allowing C#/F#/.NET developers to target Mac OS X and Windows with a single build. Also includes accessory tools for managing builds and ports of your game product.

Clarity - Game Development Simplified

A 3D engine for virtual globes designed to illustrate engine design and rendering techniques described in our upcoming book. OpenGlobe is written in C# and uses OpenGL 3.3 core profile (via OpenTK). OpenGlobe is now also on GitHub: https://github.com/virtualglobebook/OpenGlobe

This project aims at writing a threaded, object-oriented and scriptable game engine targetting the .NET platform, using a mixture of c# or managed c++ ports of famous c/c++ components such as OGRE, CEGUI, Newton, Lua, Python, Audiere, OpenAL, etc...

Robot Controlling System (RCS) - is a .NET-oriented software group for controlling remote mechanical objects, debuging and programming them by .NET-languages

All-in-one program for creating 2D scrolling games. Compile your games into stand-alone .NET executables or customizable C# source code. The IDE and framework are build on OpenTK, which wraps OpenGL, so generated games can be cross-platform.

The GIMP converted to C# and .net

openVeoh is a collection of open source software which allows UNIX users to download and manage content available on Veoh.
