# Introduction

## Installation

To install the library, just run the following line of code. The library will be installed, as well as the different associated packages. The latest stable public version is 1.8.

```
pip install colour-segmentation==1.9
```

We stress to the reader that the library is designed to work with OpenCV, and therefore the arguments of the functions are structured following its notation.

## Autorship

The library has been developed under the lines of research of the [SCOPIA](https://scopia.uib.es/) research group, in the [University of the Balearic Islands](https://www.uib.eu/).

The person in charge of maintaining the library is Marc Munar, Assistant Lecturer at the UIB. For more information, visit his [curriculum ](https://www.uib.eu/personal/ABjMxNDU1Nw/)or contact him at marc.munar@uib.es.
