# sight
A library for Vision Processing

## What is sight?
---

sight is really just a library built on top of OpenCV. It abstracts away all of the awful C-like garbage, and makes it look more rust-like. Here's what I mean.

If I want to read an image from a file, show the original image, convert it to HSV, apply a mask, apply a gaussian blur, draw a circle around the largest blob, convert it back to BGR, and output the image, that can be done very concisely, like this:
```python
import cv2
from sight import *

image = cv2.imread("fuel.png", 1)


# show untouched image
# convert to HSV
original = Image(image).show("original").convert_to_hsv()

# HSV mask for neon yellow
mask = original.get_mask(
    [27, 100, 100],
    [40, 255, 255]
)

# apply mask
# blur 100%
# draw circle around the largest blob
# convert back to BGR
# show image
original.mask(mask).blur(1).draw_target(mask).convert_to_bgr().show("output")


wait_for_keypress()
exit()
```

See how easy that was?


You might be thinking that it's too high level to be useful. This is not so.

You can use methods like `get_blobs`, `get_largest_blob`, and several others to get the data you're looking for.

    # converts image to HSV image

## Install Dependencies
---
```bash
python3 -m pip install opencv-python
python3 -m pip install numpy
```

## Future
---
I plan to develop this further to add features such as multithreaded, multiscaling template matching, and haarcascades. I also plan to add support for sliders.

Other than that there's not much else to add, the base code is super small yet powerful, and flexible to change.
