SparseEdges: A bio-inspired sparse representation of edges in natural images.

What is the SparseEdges package?
================================

Our goal here is to build practical algorithms of sparse coding for computer vision.

This class exploits the [SLIP](https://pythonhosted.org/SLIP/) and [LogGabor](https://pythonhosted.org/LogGabor/) libraries to provide with a sparse representation of edges in images.

This algorithm was presented in the following paper:

This package gives a python implementation.

Moreover, it gives additional tools to compute useful stistics in images; first- and second order statistics of co-occurences in images.
