mvtb-data 1.2

Data files for the Machine Vision Toolbox for Python.

Machine Vision Toolbox for Python - data files

This package includes large data files associated with the Machine Vision Toolbox for Python (MVTB-P).

Rationale

The data files are provided as a separate package to work around disk space limitations on PyPI. Including these data with the MVTB code adds nearly 200MB to every release, which will blow the PyPI limit quite quickly.
Since the data doesn't change very much, it's mostly images models and a few data files, it makes sense for it to be a standalone package.

Package contents

Folder	Purpose
data	miscellaneous spectral data
images	example images

Accessing data within the package

The Toolbox function path_to_datafile(file) will return an absolute Path to file which is relative to the root of the data package. For example

iread('myimage.png')       # read ./myimage.png
iread('monalisa.png')      # read from data package

A matching local file takes precendence over a file in the data package.

Installing the package

You don't need to explicitly install this package, it happens automatically when you when you install MVTB-P

pip install machinevisiontoolbox-python

since it is a dependency.
