Hi FranÃ¯Â¿Â½ois, that's an excellent question, and not a troll :-). Opencv is a very powerful library, but it focuses primarily on computer vision (feature detection and extraction, classification, ...), as opposed to image processing in general (with other tasks such as denoising, segmentation, ...). The other big difference is that skimage builds on numpy ndarrays, and uses the full power of the numpy API (including of course the basic facilities for processing arrays as images that come with numpy), as well as some of scipy functions (you could have added scipy.ndimage to your list -- a few functions in skimage are wrappers around scipy.ndimage, that exist for the sake of completeneness). One important consequence is that algorithms working for 3-d or even n-d images can be easily implemented in 3-d/n-d in skimage, whereas opencv is restricted to 2-D images (as far as I know). Thanks to the use of numpy arrays, the API of skimage is also quite pleasant for a numpy user, more than the API of opencv. A related difference is that skimage is written in python and cython, whereas opencv is a C++ library. The two libraries attract a different crowd of developers, and a Python/Cython toolkit based on numpy arrays is easier to develop and maintain inside the Scientific Python ecosystem. I'm sure that other devs/users will have things to add to this discussion!

Hi, FYI, I plan to work on the detection of ellipses quite soon. Stefan indicated to me a reference which seems fairly simple to implement. Cheers, François.

Kakadu JP2000 reader

Hi! I was wondering if it would be possible to implement the Kakadu JP2000 reader into scikit-image? I believe but am not sure that the reader only could be used without licensing fees? At least it's worth investigating because that reader is really the most powerful JP2000 reader out there and the only one that can deal with the large HiRISE images of the MRO spacecraft. Failing the above, a work-around could be to implement or encapsulate system calls to the freely downloadable kdu-expand utilities, converting it to something that is compatible with your current import routines? Best regards, Michael

Re: Returning an image from the viewer

There was some discussion about the save functionality in the original PR. I admit, I advocated to change "File -> Save As" from saving the overlay to saving the actual image the user sees... so feel free to send some blame for the present behavior my way. There should be an option to add a Save Overlay *button* which should allow you to grab the overlay specifically. As to your second question: I think you can send data either to a file, or to a buffer which can be read out using `skimage.io.pop`. I've used this before, but my memory is a bit fuzzy on it now. If this isn't currently available for scripting like your hoped-for functionality example, I'm sure it could be implemented. Thanks for the PR fixing the save dialog if it's RGB!

Returning an image from the viewer

Hi all, but especially @tonysyu: I'm using the viewer for the first time to add some interactivity to my work. Please forgive the noobish-ness: I've only ever worked on command-line stuff. (Thanks btw to @tonysyu for his awesome SciPy lightning talk, which inspired me to even dip my toes in this!) I'm running an RGB image through a bunch of thresholding and morphological operations, and I want to fiddle with the parameters before getting back the filter output. I'm running into the following problems: 1) The file > save as dialog saves a composite image of the overlay and underlying image, where I just want the overlay. 2) The file > save as dialog actually crashes when the underlying image is RGB! (PR forthcoming) 3) But most of all, I don't actually want to save the overlay, I just want to return it to the calling process. How would one go about this? Here's my code now: v = viewer.ImageViewer(rgbs[0]) v += CentroPlugin() v.show() which works as expected. I'd like something like: v = viewer.ImageViewer(rgbs[0]) v += CentroPlugin() overlay = v.show() Is this possible? Thanks, Juan.

Good idea - using transform.AffineTransform is much nicer. Updated. Thanks, yes, it was a really fun project. I've always been on the software side, but there's a huge maker/DIY movement going on in hardware/electronics at the moment. Lots of cool opportunities for embedded image processing & computer vision applications.
