The other night I put up the first early draft of my upcoming book "Programming Computer Vision with Python".
The book is meant as an entry point to hands-on computer vision for students, researchers and enthusiasts using python. I'm thinking introductory courses in image analysis and computer vision. Also OpenCV python uses who need to do something outside what's in OpenCV will find the book useful. There is a growing python community around computer vision with projects like pythonvision and SimpleCV. The book can serve as a computer vision introduction for these users as well. And let's not forget all the hackers and enthusiasts out there.
It is not meant as a textbook, it is a manual for getting started with python and/or computer vision. I'm putting everything online in order to get early feedback and help hammering out errors and improve the text and code.
Draft versions together with code and data are available from the book webpage.
I'll take all the feedback and comments I can get! Preferably via email.
UPDATE (Sept 25): Thanks so much for all the feedback and comments! I'm now on the third iteration of the book pdf since putting it online a month ago. Check the book page for updates and keep sending me your thoughts. /JES
