An open-source framework for building computer vision applications, making it easier to use common CV algorithms without needing to be an expert.
SimpleCV
- Python
- AI and Machine Learning, Computer Vision, Robotics
- Artificial Intelligence (AI), Computer Aided Design (CAD), Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM), Machine Learning, Open Source
Features:
- Image acquisition (camera,files),image processing (filtering,transformations),feature detection and extraction (corners,lines,blobs),object tracking,optical flow,template matching,machine learning integration (basic),simple API for common CV tasks
Pricing:
- Free
- High-level API designed for ease of use, good for beginners in computer vision or for rapid prototyping, aims to simplify common CV tasks.
- Development has significantly slowed (last release was years ago), smaller community and less active support compared to OpenCV or scikit-image, may lack advanced features or optimizations of more modern libraries, Python 3 support might be incomplete or buggy.
Best for:
- Beginners or hobbyists looking for a very simple interface to basic computer vision tasks, though its age and inactivity are major concerns; OpenCV and scikit-image are generally preferred modern alternatives.
