Computer Vision! First Practical Session (VirtualEnv / OpenCV/ Pillow / Scikit-image) and Python

Hey there and welcome to the computer vision slash python channel.
This is part two of the introduction to computer vision series, the practical session, in this video you will find how to configure your pc to be able to run computer vision algorithms.
The instruction shared in this video are for windows 10 but similar commands are available for the other OS (macOS or Linux)



As we are going to use python we start by installing python
Then we move to the installation of some python packages that we will need to implement and run computer vision algorithm.

For the python3 you ca install it from the website python.org and in windows 10 you can also install it from the store.

Install Python 3
*** https://www.python.org/


Install virtualenv
*** pip install virtual env



How to use virtualenv

* go to project folder
*** cd projectfolder



* create the folder projectname
*** virtualenv projectname


* Source
**** ./projectname/Scripts/activate



Install packages
* OpenCV
*** pip install opencv-python



* Pillow
*** pip install Pillow



* Scikit-image
*** pip install scikit-image


Hands on code

* Read image from disk and display it
* Read video from disk and play it
