Description

PyVX is an implementation of `OpenVX`_ in python. `OpenVX`_ is a standard for expressing computer vision processing algorithms as a graph of function nodes. This graph is verified once and can then be processed (executed) multiple times. This implementation gains its performance by generating C-code during the verification phase. This code is compiled and loaded dynamically and then called during the process phase. To use this python implementation as an `OpenVX`_ backend from a C program, a shared library is provided. This library embeds python and provides an C API following the `OpenVX`_ specification. That way the C program does not need to be aware of the fact that python is used. Also, any C program following the `OpenVX`_ specification will be compilable with this backend. .. _`OpenVX`: https://www.khronos.org/openvx
