when i m installing scikit-image package it gives me ERROR ------------------------- File "setup.py", line 37, in <module> from numpy.distutils.core import setup File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/numpy/__init__.py", line 137, in <module> import add_newdocs File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/numpy/add_newdocs.py", line 9, in <module> from numpy.lib import add_newdoc File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/numpy/lib/__init__.py", line 13, in <module> from polynomial import * File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/numpy/lib/polynomial.py", line 17, in <module> from numpy.linalg import eigvals, lstsq File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/numpy/linalg/__init__.py", line 48, in <module> from linalg import * File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/numpy/linalg/linalg.py", line 23, in <module> from numpy.linalg import lapack_lite ImportError: /usr/lib/liblapack.so.3gf: undefined symbol: ATL_chemv

Thanks Juan. Ya I had read that, sorry to make you post the source link. I guess I just wanted to confirm that what I was seeing made sense and was a product of the drawing routine rather than some sort of error or misinterpretation.

Hi Stefan, I was looking the project on text detection up on GSOC this year. I'm immensely interested in the field of machine learning and computer vision. I recently completed a course on machine learning on coursera offered by the stanford university. I just wanted to know what the pre requisites are for this text detection project, i.e., what I should know before I can start reading the papers on Real-time scene text localization and recognition and also the one on stroke width transformation. Thanks in advance,<http://cmp.felk.cvut.cz/%7Eneumalu1/neumann-cvpr2012.pdf> Sharath <http://cmp.felk.cvut.cz/%7Eneumalu1/neumann-cvpr2012.pdf>

Hi Stefan, 1 - I just contacted *Eyal Ofek* from Microsoft Research, one of the authors of that SWT paper. *My mail :* *I am Abid K, a graduate student from India. I have some questions regarding your paper "Detecting Text in Natural Scenes with Stroke Width Transform". 1 - Is it patented? 2 - Can I implement it myself and contribute it to some Open Source image processing libraries like scikit-image, OpenCV etc?* *Reply from Eyal* 1. Yes it is patented. 2. I believe there are implementations of SWT or a derivative out there. *And on asking more details on second question, he replied:* Your quest6ion is legal, and I cannot answer that - I'll send it to the people that deals with patents. 2 - Regarding SIMD optimization : Is there any particular reason for less number of SIMD optimized functions? Other libraries seems to spend a lot of time on this. Regards Abid K.

Hi Stefan, So I think SWT is patented, isn't it? That looks fantastic--algorithms such as these are exactly what I had in > mind. > I wonder if implementation of this paper is considered to be a GSoC project, I would like to work on it. *Another question* : What is the status of SIMD optimization in scikit-image? Does Cython support such kind of optimization works? Is there any SIMD optimized functions available in scikit-image? Regards Abid K

Re: Face detection

Hi Stéfan, I am a computer science undergrad, presently in my second year and extremely interested in machine learning and computer vision. I found the project that you mentioned, here <https://github.com/scikit-image/scikit-image/wiki/GSoC-2014>and I find it to be really interesting to work on. I have used the haar classifier for detecting faces(mostly as a black box) and I would like to understand its working so that I can work on this project, can you please let me know how I start with this? Any good algorithms in recent research papers that I have to read? or any essential prerequisites for the project? Thanks a lot in advance.

Hi Stefan, Here is *one link of patent application* I just found out (I am not sure if it is proof for whether it is patented. I don't know much about patents, but I think you will understand it) : http://www.faqs.org/patents/app/20090285482 Long back, I have seen a video its author presenting SWT in a conference, and a question came from audiance about its source code, He replied "come to Microsoft, you will get the code". "Otherwise?", "It is not upto me" Please *watch last one minute of this video* : http://videolectures.net/cvpr2010_epshtein_dtns/ Some two years back, when I first saw this paper, I had a plan to implement it (and contribute to OpenCV actually). So while gathering more information about this, I saw this video, and I assumed it is patented and OpenCV won't take it. So left the plan there. And I think that may be the reason *OpenCV went after another (newer - CVPR 2012) algorithm for same* : http://cmp.felk.cvut.cz/~neumalu1/neumann-cvpr2012.pdf Regards Abid K.
