MicroPython for machine vision project?

[smitjs]

Hi, I am new to the forum and new to Python.
I want to do a machine vision project, to identify animal species for automatic inoculation. The speed of identification needs to be high, therefore I am looking at Arm A9. I am unsure if that will give me the highest speed, but I am confused about the Jazelle instructions.
Will there be any advantage in this, seeing that I intend to use parts of opencv?
If I understand Micropython correctly, there is provision for compiling into Arm code or assembler directly, which can be very fast.
I have done extensive programming in C and assembler for 8051 types, but very little on Arm, mainly Arm 0+.
Please recommend a good book on the Python language, seeing that I intend to use Micropython on embedded Arm only.
Thank you
Best Regards
Johan Smit

Hi Johan,

I found this book a while ago http://pythonforengineers.com/
But it is only available for preorder at the moment, he has a section on image processing, perhaps this is what you're looking for?

I'm still waiting for my copy
