NumPy vs. OpenCV vs. Python vs. statsmodels Comparison Chart

OpenCV (Open Source Computer Vision Library) is an open-source computer vision and machine learning software library. OpenCV was built to provide a common infrastructure for computer vision applications and to accelerate the use of machine perception in commercial products. Being a BSD-licensed product, OpenCV makes it easy for businesses to utilize and modify the code. The library has more than 2500 optimized algorithms, which includes a comprehensive set of both classic and state-of-the-art computer vision and machine learning algorithms. These algorithms can be used to detect and recognize faces, identify objects, classify human actions in videos, track camera movements, track moving objects, extract 3D models of objects, produce 3D point clouds from stereo cameras, and stitch images together to produce a high-resolution image of an entire scene, find similar images from an image database, remove red eyes from images taken using flash, follow eye movements, recognize scenery, etc.

statsmodels is a Python module that provides classes and functions for the estimation of many different statistical models, as well as for conducting statistical tests and statistical data exploration. An extensive list of result statistics is available for each estimator. The results are tested against existing statistical packages to ensure that they are correct. The package is released under the open-source Modified BSD (3-clause) license. statsmodels supports specifying models using R-style formulas and pandas DataFrames. Have a look at dir(results) to see available results. Attributes are described in results.__doc__ and results methods have their own docstrings. You can also use numpy arrays instead of formulas. The easiest way to install statsmodels is to install it as part of the Anaconda distribution, a cross-platform distribution for data analysis and scientific computing. This is the recommended installation method for most users.
