Libraries

  • scikit scikit-image library includes algorithms for segmentation, geometric transformations, color space manipulation, analysis, filtering, morphology, feature detection in images python ecosystem
  • OpenCV Open Source Computer Vision Library is an open source computer vision and machine learning software library written in C++

What could be useful?

R ecosystem

mostly a wrapper based architecture working via

  • Command-line interface (CLI) - for Orfeo ToolBox, GRASS GIS, SAGA GIS…
  • Python API - RSGISLib
