Python GUI for the OpenPTV library liboptv

PyPTV or otherwise called OpenPTV-Python is the Python GUI for OpenPTV. It is based on traits, traitsui, chaco, enable and pyface from Enthought Inc. and provides an UI interface the OpenPTV library that includes all the core algorithms (correspondence, tracking, calibration, etc.) written in ANSI C and has Python bindings using Cython.

Both PyPTV and the OpenPTV library are in the development phase and continuously refactored. Please follow the development on the community mailing list:

    git clone http://github.com/alexlib/pyptv.git pyptv
    cd pyptv
    conda create -n pyptv --file requirements.txt

	conda activate pyptv
	cd ~/openptv/py_bind
	python setup.py install

• If Cython is missing, add it using:

    conda install cython -n pyptv
    python setup.py install
  

If the compilation passed, open the terminal and run:

	python pyptv_gui/pyptv_gui.py ../test_cavity

or:

	pythonw pyptv_gui/pyptv_gui.py ../test_cavity

It is possible to install wxPython instead of PyQt4, and switch between those:

	ETS_TOOLKIT=qt4 python pyptv_gui/pyptv_gui.py ../test_cavity
