[Luis Pedro Coelho <luis@luispedro.org>]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Luis Pedro Coelho <luis@luispedro.org>


I am proposing to package mahotas, which was created by me.

* Package name    : python-mahotas
  Version         : 0.6.2
  Upstream Author : Luis Pedro Coelho <luis@luispedro.org>
* URL             : http://packages.python.org/mahotas/
* License         : (GPL)
  Programming Lang: (C++, Python)
  Description     : Efficient Image Processing Library for Python

It includes  algorithms implemented in C++ for speed while operating in numpy
arrays.

Notable algorithms:
- watershed.
- SURF features
- hit & miss. thinning.
- Zernike & Haralick features.
- freeimage based numpy image loading.
- thresholding.
- convex points calculations.
- morphological functions.

Currently, the package has no known bugs. In the past, reported bugs have been
fixed in 24 hours or, most often, less.
