1. Get started¶
1.1. Requirements¶
The code and examples of this book should work for Python 3.5+.
Install the latest versions of the following Python packages
NumPy (
pip install numpy)SciPy (
pip install scipy)MatplotLib (
pip install matplotlib)Scikit-image (
pip install scikit-image)
Note
You should also have Jupyter notebook/lab environment installed and built for interactive practice.
1.2. 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!
