使用python证明细菌繁殖按指数增长

"""
This script produces a video analysis proving for the first time in history
that bacterial populations grow exponentially. See the result here:
http://i.imgur.com/uoITKiA.gif

We proceed as follows:

- Download a video of bacteria growing under a microscope.
- Cut the video to keep only the first 7 seconds.
- Threshold each frame to find where the bacteria are, and compute the
  total number of pixels that they occupy
- Make an animated plot of the number of pixels occupied versus time
- Assemble the original video, the thresholded version, and the plot,
  and write everything to a file.

I don't know the source of the original video so I can't give credits,
sorry guys !

由于不能传mp4格式文件：源文件，处理后文件我都放在我的网盘里。http://pan.baidu.com/s/1miGaR3a
