SimpleCV

SimpleCV is an open source framework for performing computer vision tasks. And like its name suggests, it has made computer vision simple. The complexities associated with OpenCV have been taken care of in SimpleCV by providing direct-to-use functions for performing repeatedly used computer vision tasks. SimpleCV is written in Python and can be installed in all major operating systems such as Linux, Windows and Mac. It is available with the BSD licence.

SimpleCV allows developers to handle both images and videos. The source image/video is acquired directly using various input sources as listed below: Web cams Kinects FireWire and IP cameras Mobile phone cameras SimpleCV facilitates not only making changes to the images but also allows them to be understood.
