[GRLUG] Fwd: GRPUG Meeting on May 16 - Machine Vision

[Ben Rousch]

I totally dropped the ball on sending this to the GRLUG mailing list.
I'm sure some of you will be interested - I hope you can make it on
such short notice. Ingenuitas works with open source software and
hardware to build things like machine vision systems.

Subject: GRPUG Meeting on May 16 - Machine Vision
To: "GRPUG: Grand Rapids Python Users Group" <grpug at googlegroups.com>


We have a special guest/first time presenter lined up for the next
GRPUG meeting, on a subject we have never covered. The combination of
hardware and software behind machine vision is something that blows my
mind. If you haven't been to one in a while, you should definitely
stop by this meeting.

SimpleCV - Open Source Machine Vision with Python
Presented by: Nathan Oostendorp
Monday, May 16th 2011 6:00PM @ Room 251, North Hall, Calvin College,
Grand Rapids, MI.

Nathan Oostendorp is working on a new startup out of Ann Arbor called
Ingenuitas which is working to create open source tools for the
manufacturing sector. Their first project is an open source part
inspection appliance, and of course it's being developed with Python
using OpenCV and Pylons.

For the last month or so, Nate has been working on a super-library to
wrangle a bunch of the open source machine vision libraries and
provide a consistent Pythonic interface -- called SimpleCV. He will
be demoing some of its functionality and hopes to get some feedback
from you on its interface and conventions.
