I spotted this article in the Proceedings of SciPy Conference 2008.
While I haven’t tried rubbing Python and C++ into one piece yet, some initial efforts have proved SciPy a good choice if you choose one platform to work on machine vision and image processing. Apart from SciPy, we can find PIL (Python Image Library), and other Python packages that make our life easier as a ‘part-time’ programmer (i.e., we use a programming language as a tool, not for making a living). As the authors commented, the good thing about SciPy is that it’s not a proprietary language such as Matlab, but an open-source universal language, and it has very good interface with C/C++ code to sort out performance concerns. And, I’m sure, given a bit of time, SciPy toolkits will flourish on the web.
If you run into any useful SciPy toolkits, please share! Or even better, I’d hope in the future we can contribute some research code into open source.
