From HIT Lab NZ
HIT Lab honours student Brian Thorne and PhD student Cristiano Soares will be one of the speakers of Kiwi Pycon 2009.
Speaking about the presentation, Brian told us:
The purpose of my presentation is an introduction to computer vision (CV) and image processing in Python. I will aim to show what is possible with current libraries, demonstrate their usability, explore their limitations, and cover elements of best coding practice. Part of my presentaiton, I will introduce my basic Python computer vision framework, which is aimed at inexperienced users, and demonstrate it on the XO laptop, the inexpensive low-powered sub-notebook distributed as part of the One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) initiative.
- Date : 7- 8 November, Christchurch, NewZealand
- Venue: Canterbury Innovation Incubator
