SimpleCV Review
Open-source computer vision framework for building applications with Python
Verdict
SimpleCV provides an accessible way to leverage computer vision libraries like OpenCV without requiring extensive prior knowledge. It's a useful tool for developers and researchers, but may have a learning curve for beginners. The framework's simplicity comes at the cost of limited fine-grained control over certain aspects of computer vision.
What it does
applications. With it, you get access to several high-powered computer vision libraries such as OpenCV – without having to first learn about bit depths, file formats, color spaces, buffer management, eigenvalues, or matrix versus bitmap storage. This is computer vision made easy.
