These are many of the various examples for the open source computer vision framework - SimpleCV

About

SimpleCV is a open source cross platform machine vision framework written in Python.

The purpose of the simplecv-tutorial subproject is to learn how to apply computer vision to practical situations using the tools implemented in the SimpleCV framework.

The target audience is those new to computer vision but also has the ability to be extended to more advanced computer vision tasks.

Setup the build tool

To build the HTML or the PDF (requires pdflatex) versions of this tutorial Sphinx (1.0.0+) is needed. You can get from the Python Package Index.:

$ sudo pip install -U sphinx

Or use the Package management system of your distribution. For Fedora:

Building the tutorial

Switch your simplecv-examples folder and build the html variant:

$ make html

If you want to rebuild make sure you clean first:

$ make clean
$ make html

Auto Building the tutorial

If you are able to push to the master branch at: http://github.com/ingenuitas/simplecv-examples

Then it should autobuild soon after and be found at: http://simplecv-examples.readthedocs.org

Structure

While working with the information shared in the 'Learn' section (aka tutorial) I missed a little bit of structure. Do you mind when I add little bit of structure/groupingof the topics and do some rearranging?

Python 3 compatible ?

I am using python 3 to use this tool and the library file has some python 2 references. Is simplecv compatible with python 3 ?
