SimpleCV vs. Zippin

SimpleCV is an open source framework for building computer vision applications, user can get access to several high-powered computer vision libraries such as OpenCV without having to learn about bit depths, file formats, color spaces, buffer management, eigenvalues, or matrix versus bitmap storage.

At Zippin, we help retailers reimagine their shopper experience by removing the friction of in-store shopping. We eliminate the checkout to give shoppers their time back and help retailers run their stores more efficiently with less demand for labor resources. Zippin is NOT self-checkout. Shoppers simply enter the store by swiping or tapping a credit card, take what they want, and zip out. There’s no line, no kiosk, and no mobile app required. Zippin is consistently first to market with new checkout-free concepts such as Zippin Walk-Up, Zippin Lane, and Zippin Walk-Up Outdoor.
