OpenCV means IntelĀ® Open Source Computer Vision Library. It is a collection of C functions and a few C++ classes that implement some popular Image Processing and Computer Vision algorithms. OpenCV library is mainly aimed at real time computer vision. Some example areas would be Human-Computer Interaction (HCI); Object Identification, Segmentation and Recognition; Face Recognition; Gesture Recognition; Motion Tracking, Ego Motion, Motion Understanding; Structure From Motion (SFM); and Mobile Robotics:
Overview: http://www.intel.com/technology/computing/opencv/overview.htm Download: http://heanet.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/opencvlibrary/chopencv-2.3.0-win.zip OpenCV provides a Python wrapper in OpenCV\interfaces\swig\python\ directory, but I have no idea how to turn it into a Windows binary yet. I have downloaded SWIG, but it creates files which are already in the directory, so it was the wrong idea. Probably I have to compile the _cv.cpp as a DLL, but my MS .NET 2003 Visual C++ compiler throws tons of error messages at me when I create an empty project, telling it should create an DLL out of _cv.cpp and then try to compile it. It would be so nice to have this Computer Vision Library as extension module in my modules library. Any hints how to achieve it? Claudio -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
