Comparing image processing in MATLAB and image processing in Python using OpenCV.
- Speed
Using OpenCV libraries in Python for image processing functions is faster when compared to MATLAB. This is mainly because OpenCV libraries are written in C/C++ therefore the is only a small amount time needed to execute the code.
MATLAB is built on a lot of wrappers, which consumes more time when a code is run. - Functionalities
In my experience MATLAB has a lot more functionalities when compared to OpenCV.
MATLAB has an interactive interface which makes a lot of things easier. - ost
While OpenCV is a free and open source library, MATLAB is a licensed software which is quite costly. - Code Readability
MATLAB has a more readable code format when compared to OpenCV. Like it is easier to understand what a snippet of code does in MATLAB.
