Python Extension

Python is a popular scripting language for implementing computer vision applications. While Python’s performance isn’t nearly good enough for the low-level number crunching required by vision algorithms, its expressive power makes it handy for writing the high-level logic of complex algorithms whose low-level parts are implemented in native code.

The VisionAppster platform comes with a built-in Python interpreter. Due to its size and runtime overhead, the interpreter isn’t enabled by default and must be manually turned on by installing this component.
