SimpleCV 2.0 Notes

Code Cleanliness

Namespace: simplecv2

• pep8
• argument conventions
• points/dimensions as tuples
• keywords as first prioriy
• Image extending ndimage
• entirely CV2
• travis ci builds
• pylint checking
• every class with own file
• unit tests broken out by module
• sane import structure (imports on runtime)

general arch:

• entry points (or something similar)
• config file
  • enable/disable modules
• numba configuration - move any pixel-level stuff to numba
• GPU-enabling

Image:

• true colorspacing
• transform history -> soft ref to upstream transforms
• first class ROI(s)

Features:

• detection as class constructor
• Image.find(Blob, foo=bar)
• image
• lines
• "find" is a classmethod
• contour as first class feature
• return empty featureset if nothing is found

Helper Functions:

• Operate on features not images (so not img.findLines, more line pointToLine(lines))

Rendering

• plugin based (SVG by default)
• pygame optional

Data manipulation

• pandas included for rolling window/groupby
• scikits for ML
• basic SP recipes (eg findpeaks, wrap scipy cookbook stuff)

Distribution

• build on top of OpenCV + anaconda
• -all distribution which is all "approved" modules
• -core distribution which is just "basic" modules

Website

• page for different modules (wordpress plugin style)
• examples part of docs
