Python API

The Python API is a light wrapper of the C API. It creates an object that has all the C functions:

from brpy import init_brpy
# br_loc is /usr/local/lib by default,
# you may change this by passing a different path to the shared objects
br = init_brpy(br_loc='/path/to/libopenbr')
br.br_initialize_default()
img = open('catpic.jpg','rb').read()
br.br_set_property('algorithm','MyCatFaceDetectionModel')
br.br_set_property('enrollAll','true')
tmpl = br.br_load_img(img, len(img))
catfaces = br.br_enroll_template(tmpl)
print('This pic has %i cats in it!' % br.br_num_templates(catfaces))
br.br_free_template(tmpl)
br.br_free_template_list(catfaces)
br.br_finalize()

To enable the module, add -DBR_INSTALL_BRPY=ON to your cmake command (or use the ccmake GUI - highly recommended).

Currently only OS X and Linux are supported.
