    <p>I will soon be starting a final year Engineering project, consisting of the real-time tracking of objects moving on a 2D-surface. The objects will be registered by my algorithm using <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feature_extraction" rel="noreferrer">feature extraction</a>.</p> <p>I am trying to do some research to decide whether I should use MATLAB or use Python Numpy (Numerical Python). Some of the factors I am taking into account:</p> <p>1.) Experience</p> <p>I have reasonable experience in both, but perhaps more experience in image processing using Numpy. However, I have always found MATLAB to be very intuitive and easy to pick up.</p> <p>2.) Real-Time abilities</p> <p>It is very important that my choice be able to support the real-time acquisition of video data from an external camera. I found this link for <a href="http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/18596-real-time-microphone-and-camera-data-acquisition-and-audio-video-processing" rel="noreferrer">MATLAB</a> showing how to do it. I am sure that the same would be possible for Python, perhaps using the OpenCV library?</p> <p>3.) Performance</p> <p>I have heard, although never used, that MATLAB can easily split independent calculations across <a href="http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/13775" rel="noreferrer">multiple cores</a>. I should think that this would be very useful, and I am not sure whether the same is equally simple for Numpy?</p> <p>4.) Price</p> <p>I know that there is a cost associated with MATLAB, but I will be working at a university and thus will have access to full MATLAB without any cost to myself, so price is not a factor.</p> <p>I would greatly appreciate any input from anyone who has done something similar, and what your experience was. Thanks!</p>

    1. COIn terms of post-graduation employability I think Matlab is a much better choice if you intend to practice engineering.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
