Evaluation of Python Language in the Early Stages of Digital Image Processing

Resumen

Our research group has been developing computational systems to assist in solving agricultural problems. Almost all systems were developed using the OpenCV library's support, using the Java language. However, in 2018, it was announced that the most widely used programming language in different fields of application, including the scientific field, is Python. Given this scenario, this work aimed to evaluate the Python language in image processing. For this purpose, a seed analysis computational system developed in the Java was reimplemented in Python, and in order to carry out a practical evaluation, we performed execution time experiments on both codes_.
