PyImageSearch - Be awesome at building image search engines in Python. OpenRelief Project. Building Image Processing Embedded Systems using Python, Part 1. The first part of this three-part series gives a brief overview of the embedded vision and the various components required to make it work. It also covers the installation procedure for the OpenCV library. Modern life is incomplete without gadgets, smartphones, automated appliances, et al. These electronic devices aide us in our daily grind, making our otherwise mundane/hectic life a bit easier. So what controls these devices? In layman’s language, it’s a small circuit with preprogrammed human logic, called an embedded system. Listed below are some useful definitions. Embedded system (ES): An embedded system is some combination of computer hardware and software, either fixed in capability or programmable, that is specifically designed for a particular function.
Moving on, the five basic components required to build an embedded system using Python are discussed below, in brief. The operating system (OS) The OS is the heart of an embedded vision system.

Otsu's method, named after its inventor Nobuyuki Otsu, is one of many binarization algorithms.
This page describes how the algorithm works and provides a Java implementation, which can be easily ported to other languages. If you are in a hurry, jump to the code. Many thanks to Eric Moyer who spotted a potential overflow when two integers are multiplied in the variance calculation. The example code has been updated with the integers cast to floats during the calculation. Otsu Thresholding Explained Otsu's thresholding method involves iterating through all the possible threshold values and calculating a measure of spread for the pixel levels each side of the threshold, i.e. the pixels that either fall in foreground or background. The algorithm will be demonstrated using the simple 6x6 image shown below. A 6-level greyscale image and its histogram The next step is to calculate the 'Within-Class Variance'.
