Menpo is a statistical modelling toolkit, providing all the tools required to build, fit, visualize, and test generative computer vision models like Active Appearance Models and Morphable Models.
Menpo is currently under agressive development and is very much a work in progress. Documentation and examples are outdated, docstrings may be incorrect, tests are missing, and even core ideas are not yet fully formed. The project is at a pre-alpha stage, and this should be kept in mind at all times.
The Menpo Wiki contains installation guides for each platform:
Menpo makes extensive use of IPython Notebooks to explain functionality of the package. These Notebooks are hosted in the menpo/menpo-notebooks repository. We strongly suggest that after installation you:
- Download the latest version of the notebooks
- Run
ipython notebook - Play around with the notebooks.
Want to get a feel for Menpo without installing anything? You can browse the notebooks straight from the menpo website.
See the menpo website.
We use nosetests for unit tests. You can check our current coverage on coveralls.
>> nosetests
from the top of the repository is all this is required.
