SimpleCV Demos

Code to accompany a talk to the Foundations of Computing class at the University of Melbourne.

Requirements

You should install:

• SimpleCV (requires opencv)
• numpy
• ipython[notebook]

Running the examples

The examples are numbered, so that you can build from simple cases to more advanced ones.

For .ipynb files, open them in the IPython notebook (run ipython notebook in the same folder). If you don't have IPython installed, you can read them online at:

• 00-image-basics
• 03-image-operations

For .py files, just run them directly in shell (python myscript.py).
