I've been trying to setup SimpleCV on my Mac for several days now. I finally got everything installed, but running the hello world program
from SimpleCV import Camera
# Initialize the camera
cam = Camera()
# Loop to continuously get images
while True:
# Get Image from camera
img = cam.getImage()
# Make image black and white
img = img.binarize()
# Draw the text "Hello World" on image
img.drawText("Hello World!")
# Show the image
img.show()
found on their homepage returns the following error:
File "helloworld.py", line 13, in <module>
img.show()
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/SimpleCV/ImageClass.py", line 5447, in show
d = Display(self.size())
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/SimpleCV/Display.py", line 158, in __init__
scvLogo = SimpleCV.Image("simplecv").scale(32,32)
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/SimpleCV/ImageClass.py", line 787, in __init__
self._pil = pil.open(self.filename).convert("RGB")
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/PIL/Image.py", line 2237, in open
fp = builtins.open(fp, "rb")
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/SimpleCV/sampleimages/simplecv.png'
Cleaned up camera.
After a lot of trial and error, I ended up the with following brew packages:
atk eigen glib isl mercurial pcre scipy swig
autoconf fontconfig gmp jpeg mpfr pixman sdl webp
automake freetype gobject-introspection libffi numpy pkg-config sdl_image xz
brew-cask gcc gtk+ libmpc opencv portmidi sdl_mixer
cairo gdbm harfbuzz libpng openexr pygame sdl_ttf
cloog gdk-pixbuf icu4c libtiff openssl python smpeg
cmake gettext ilmbase libtool pango readline sqlite
and the following pip packages:
funcsigs (0.4)
gnureadline (6.3.3)
ipython (2.3.1)
mercurial (3.2.4)
nose (1.3.4)
numpy (1.9.1)
obd (0.2.0)
Pillow (2.7.0)
pip (6.0.6)
pygame (1.9.1release)
pyparsing (2.0.3)
pyserial (2.7)
scipy (0.14.0)
setuptools (11.3.1)
SimpleCV (1.3)
six (1.9.0)
svgwrite (1.1.6)
installed on my system.
One of the ubuntu/pip packages had that file missing and it broke everything. There's no issue with your files. If you can build from github source, it would be the best option and would give you a lot more modules. This should be helpful.
