What Hacker News says
7 sourcesJan Erik is an outstanding guy. He has helped me through a couple of rough spots. The OpenCV python bindings for SIFT don't seem to work (or exist). The ones for ORB work really well. Here is an example: https://github.com/ingenuitas/SimpleCV/blob/master/SimpleCV/...
In Militarizing your backyard with Python, Arduino, and computer vision.Best way to contribute? Was this a serious question? I'm not affiliated with simplecv but if I had to guess I would say:
https://github.com/ingenuitas/SimpleCV
In OpenCV vs. Matlab vs. SimpleCVAh, that'd be https://github.com/ingenuitas/SimpleCV
In Machine Vision made Easy - SimpleCVAt first glance, it looks like a good library for starting out with Vision. It's a very Pythonic library. I especially like some of the blatant honesty in their docstrings.

It certainly looks easier than starting with OpenCV alone.
Moreover, Ingenuitas looks like an interesting company. Open source solutions for manufacturing is certainly nothing I've heard of before. Definitely something to keep an eye on.
