How is image processing in Matlab different from Python?




Comparing image processing in MATLAB and image processing in Python using OpenCV.

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. ost
    While OpenCV is a free and open source library, MATLAB is a licensed software which is quite costly.
  4. 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.
