Description: Experimental image mining using OpenCV
        ======================================
        
        Attempting to build tools to mine interesting data from large collections of scanned images
        
        Current
        -------
        
        * bin/locate-thumbnail: `find the location of a thumbnail in the source image <http://chris.improbable.org/2013/06/30/reconstructing-thumbnails-using-opencv/>`_
        * bin/extract-figures: `locate interesting non-text elements (images, figures, tables, etc.) on scanned book pages <http://chris.improbable.org/2013/08/31/extracting-images-from-scanned-pages/>`_
        
        Prerequisites
        -------------
        
        * Python 2.6+
        * OpenCV 2.4+
        * numpy
        
        Using Mac Homebrew this should install cleanly::
        
            brew install python numpy opencv
        
        On Ubuntu 12.04 Precise the following is known to work - note the need for a PPA to get OpenCV 2.4+::
        
            sudo add-apt-repository ppa:alexei.colin/opencv
            sudo apt-get update
            sudo apt-get install python-numpy python-opencv
Platform: UNKNOWN
