Description: 
        
        Image Processing Library for Python.
        
        It includes a couple of algorithms implemented in C++ for speed while operating
        in numpy arrays.
        
        Notable algorithms:
         - watershed.
         - convex points calculations.
         - hit & miss. thinning.
         - Zernike & Haralick, LBP, and TAS features.
         - freeimage based numpy image loading (requires freeimage libraries to be
           installed).
         - Speeded-Up Robust Features (SURF), a form of local features.
         - thresholding.
         - convolution.
         - Sobel edge detection.
        
        Examples
        --------
        
        This is a simple example of loading a file (called `test.jpeg`) and calling
        `watershed` using above threshold regions as a seed (we use Otsu to define
        threshold).
        
        ::
        
            import numpy as np
            from scipy import ndimage
            import mahotas
            import pylab
        
            img = mahotas.imread('test.jpeg')
            T_otsu = mahotas.thresholding.otsu(img)
            seeds,_ = ndimage.label(img > T_otsu)
            labeled = mahotas.cwatershed(img.max() - img, seeds)
        
            pylab.imshow(labeled)

        - Add Gaussian filtering (from scipy.ndimage)
        
        And a few bugfixes:
        
        - Fix type bug in 32 bit machines (Bug report by Lech Wiktor Piotrowski)
        - Fix convolve1d

        0.7.1 (January 6 2012)

        The most important change fixed compilation on Mac OS X
        
        Other changes:
        
        - Add convolve1d
        - Check that convolution arguments have right dimensions (instead of
          crashing)
        - Add descriptor_only argument to surf.descriptors
        - Specify all function signatures on freeimage.py
        
        
        
        
        For version **0.7 (Dec 5 2011)**:
        
        The big change was that the *dependency on scipy was removed*. As part of this
        process, the interpolate submodule was added. A few important bug fixes as
        well.
        
        - Allow specification of centre in Zernike moment computation

        - Add template_match function
        - Refactor by use of mahotas.internal
