Image processing examples with Numpy, Scipy, and Scikit-image

Requirements

• Python 3.4+
• NumPy ($ pip install numpy)
• SciPy ($ pip install scipy)
• MatplotLib ($ pip install matplotlib)
• Scikit-image ($ pip install scikit-image)

---

Testing after install

Open a Jupyter notebook and execute the following code,

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from skimage import data, io, filters

image = data.coins()  # or any NumPy array!
edges = filters.sobel(image)
io.imshow(edges)

You should see the following output. If you see this, you are all set to go!
