  + Emmanuelle Gouillart, Image processing: 2 hrs
  + +Image manipulation and processing using NumPy, SciPy and scikits-image + +
  - This tutorial will show a bag of basic recipes in order to efficiently +manipulate and process images in the form of NumPy arrays. +
  - Target audience: scientists and engineers working with images +
  - + Prerequisites : being able to code Python scripts and use an + interactive Python shell + some knowledge of NumPy +
  - + Software requirements: IPython, NumPy, SciPy, Matplolib, scikits-image, and optionally sklearn +
  - + Topics covered +
    - I/O: how to open different image formats, how to open raw images, how to deal with very large raw files.
    - Basic visualization of images, and interaction with image data
    - Transforming images: changing the size, resolution, orientation of an image; image filtering; image segmentation.
    - Extracting information from images: measuring properties of segmented objects; image classification
    +
  - + This tutorial will by no means be a course on digital image processing.It is rather a bag of tricks on how to + tinker with images, and how to use the goodies of Python/NumPy/SciPy to make this task easier. A large part + of the talk will be devoted to hands-on exercises using the NumPy, SciPy + and Matplotlib modules. Some other modules will be mentioned during the + tutorial for more advanced uses. +

  +Machine learning with scikit-learn +
  - + Introduction to machine learning and statistical data processing with the + features in scikit-learn, and how to use it to solve real-world problems: + from handwritten digits classification to stock market prediction. +
  - + Target audience : Engineers and scientists using Python for scientific + and numerical computing. No knowledge needed in statistical learning. +
  - + Prerequisites: Being able to code scripts and function in Python. Basic + knowledge of numpy and matplotlib. +
  - + Software requirements: IPython, scikits.learn, matplotlib. +
  - + Outline +
    - The settings: datasets, estimators, and the prediction problem.
    - Regression and classification: Support Vector Machines, sparse regressions... Example: recognising hand-written digits
    - Model selection: choosing the right estimator, and the right parameters
    - Clustering: KMeans, Affinity Propagation. Example: finding structure in the stock market.

  - + Putting information on a map and analyzing spatial data are fundamental to a + wide range of areas such as navigation, working with climate or geological data, + disaster management, presentation of modelling results, demographics, social networking etc. +
  - + This tutorial will give a practical introduction to tools and techniques + available for processing spatial information and, through a few hands-on + exercises, give the participants a sense of how to manipulate and visualise + spatial data using Python. Topics covered include reading and writing + of important data formats for both raster and vector data, looking at the layers, + awareness of issues with datums and projections, calculating centroids of polygons, + calculation of distance between points on the surface of Earth, interpolation from raster + grids to points etc. The tutorial has been developed for Ubuntu Linux and will provide source code, + tests and data for this platform. However, the content and messages should be general and apply to any platform. +
  - + I assume that participants know how to write and run + Python scripts and would suggest you install qgis as well as + the python dependencies numpy, matplotlib and gdal on your + laptop. I don't assume any previous knowledge of mapping or Geographic Information Systems (GIS). +
  - + If you have some spatial data you want to manipulate in Python feel free to bring it along and grab me during a lunch break. +

  - + Enthought’s traits package provides for a powerful object model which + provides a host of useful functionality with a clean and expressive syntax. + It is an open source library and forms the basis of the Enthought Tool Suite and many of + Enthought’s internal commercial projects. In this tutorial we will cover the basics of using + Traits along with the UI library TraitsUI which makes it very easy to build powerful and + interactive, user interfaces using Traits. +

+Prabhu Ramachandran and Gael Varoquaux, Mayavi for 3D visualization: 2 hrs - - - - -

Day 5

+ At the end of this tutorial attendees will learn how to visualize numpy + arrays using Mayavi's mlab interface. They will also learn enough about + mayavi to be able to create their own simple datasets and visualize + them. If this tutorial follows one on traits, then attendees will learn + how easy it is to embed 3D visualization in their own application UIs + (provided they are written in wxPython or PyQt). +
+ In this tutorial, we first provide a rapid overview of Mayavi_ and its + features. We then move on to using Mayavi via IPython_ and mlab. This + is done in a hands-on fashion and introduces the audience to visualizing + numpy arrays and the basic mayavi visualization pipeline. We then + introduce the audience to the basic objects and data sources used in + Mayavi. We end with an example of creating custom dialogs using Traits + and embedding 3D visualization in these dialogs with Mayavi. +

  - + At some level, Cython (http://www.cython.org) can be thought of a Python to C compiler. + It allows someone to write extension modules in a language very similar to Python and + therefore makes it rather easy to write C-extensions. In this tutorial we will cover + the basics of building extension modules with Cython. +
  - + Package requirements: You will require to have Cython, the + Python development headers and a working C-compiler to run the hands-on exercises. +
