About PCV

PCV is a pure Python library for computer vision based on the book "Programming Computer Vision with Python" by Jan Erik Solem.

More details on the book (and a pdf version of the latest draft) can be found at programmingcomputervision.com.

Dependencies

You need to have Python 2.6+ and as a minimum:

• NumPy
• Matplotlib

Some parts use:

• SciPy

Many sections show applications that require smaller specialized Python modules. See the book or the individual examples for full list of these dependencies.

Structure

PCV/ the code.

pcv_book/ contains a clean folder with the code exactly as used in the book at time of publication.
