Providing output as OpenCV Mat? #4
Description
I think this library is really great! There are also a lot of people who would like to use OpenCV with Python, and the OpenCV Python bindings are pretty good now. There's a good C library that takes pictures with the Pi cam and returns them as IplImages, the old OpenCV picture matrices (my fork's here. I work more with C++ than C, and I have an example that converts the C output into an OpenCV Mat, which is the newer type. Something like this would probably be best for working with OpenCV in Python, because it matches better with all of the refactoring done in recent times on OpenCV's side. Would it be a lot of work exposing these functions to Python? I'd be willing to help, but I've never written compiled extensions for Python. I could imagine that it would be a good addition to your repo, so that users can just load one picam interface and be able to choose what kind of objects they want from the library.
