Open Source Image Processing using Microsoft Kinect and Python

Samarth Shah@SamarthShah_

What is Image Processing? Any form of signal processing on images/videos Generally 2D images Image In -> Image Out Computer Vision

Current Status Research

Image Enhancement Image Restoration Image Compression

Vision based Start-ups Nokia Refocus (https://refocus.nokia.com/) Nokia Pureview Technology

OpenCV code snippet #include <cv.h> #include <highgui.h> int main(){ IplImage *im =

cvLoadImage("image.jpg",CV_WINDOW_AUTOSIZE); cvNamedWindow("image"); cvShowImage("image", im); cvWaitKey(0); cvReleaseImage(&im); cvDestroyAllWindows(); }

SimpleCV code snippet from SimpleCV import * cam = Camera() while True: img = cam.getImage() img.show()
