+# Why O-3000
+
+O-3000 is our answer to rigid and inflexible vision solutions. Maybe you know that. The camera you'd like to use
+does not support your (embedded) operating system. The interface specification is top secret and certainly you won't
+get any driver source code. Due to such experiences we developed the O-3000 cameras. In the meantime, O-3000
+has grown into a comprehensive vision system. Everything is open-source and all interface specifications are
+freely available. These cameras are developed and produced in Switzerland.
+
+
+## Python Binding
+
+This application is written in Python 3. It shows the interaction with the underlying O-3000 driver and Color Image Processing Pipeline via Python C-Extension. The camera image can be stored including some annotation information that can be selected or added via GUI.
+
+
+### Build, install and run
+
+Note that this application has been developed and tested on Linux only, precisly on openSUSE 15.1.
+
+Note that both, the O-3000 driver and the Color Image Processing Pipeline must be built and installed,
+furthermore some python packages (Numpy, OpenCV and Tkinter) must be installed, on openSUSE:
+```
+sudo zypper in python3-devel python3-numpy python3-numpy-devel python3-opencv python3-tk
+```
+
+Checkout this repository and build the Python C-Extension:
+```
+git clone git@stettbacher.ch:o-3000/demo/python-binding.git
+cd python-binding
+
+export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
+python3 setup_c_extension.py build
+sudo python3 setup_c_extension.py install
+```
+
+And finally start the application:
+```
+python3 image-record-annotate.py
+```
