Sorry if I missed this in discussions at the sprint, but is there any reason we're not taking advantage of OpenCV? It may be a little more than what this scikit is aiming to offer, but it has some really nice, well-optimized routines. It's BSD licensed. I have been using the ctypes-opencv python wrapper, which is also BSD licensed. Yes, it's another dependency, but it's really easy to get - Ubuntu & Fedora have packages, binaries are readily available for Windows, and it has built easily on my OSX system. If you guys think it's something worth including, I can work on getting the wrappers integrated with the scikit. -Mike
