My progress with the SimpleCV update was somewhat mixed yesterday. I was able to go from a low of tracebacks on any image operation to a high of loading two photo formats (though not stored with quite the right attributes) before encountering dependency tracebacks on img.show(). Hooray! But I also began to suspect that OpenCV … Continue reading Not-So-SimpleCV: Tracebacks and Bitmaps

I left off with a version that loads and functions on frozen-in-time dependencies on my Raspberry Pi, but that setup left me with … Continue reading Not-So-SimpleCV: Fixer-Upper

I've only been able to get it up & running on my Raspberry Pi, where the PiCam driver does not seem to be recognized by SimpleCV, but all capabilities … Continue reading FunctionalCV on Python 2.7
