Multi-Template-Matching 1.2

Object-recognition in images using multiple templates

Multi-Template-Matching

Multi-Template-Matching is a package to perform object-recognition in images using one or several smaller template images.
The template and images should have the same bitdepth (8,16,32-bit) and number of channels (single/Grayscale or RGB).
The main function MTM.matchTemplates returns the best predicted locations provided either a score_threshold and/or the expected number of objects in the image.

Installation

Using pip, pip install Multi-Template-Matching
Once installed, import MTMshould work.

Documentaion

Check out the jupyter notebook tutorial for some example of how to use the package.
The wiki section of this related repository also provides some information about the implementation.
