albumentations 0.0.10

fast image augmentation library and easy to use wrapper around other libraries

Albumentations

• Great fast augmentations based on highly-optimized OpenCV library
• Super simple yet powerful interface for different tasks like (segmentation, detection, etc.)
• Easy to customize
• Easy to add other frameworks

See example.ipynb

Installation

You can use pip to install albumentations:

pip install albumentations

If you want to get the latest version of the code before it is released on PyPI you can install the library from GitHub:

pip install -U git+https://github.com/albu/albumentations

Documentation

The full documentation is available at albumentations.readthedocs.io.

Demo

You can use this Google Colaboratory notebook to adjust image augmentation parameters and see the resulting images.

Working with non-8-bit images

example_16_bit_tiff.ipynb shows how albumentations can be used to work with non-8-bit images (such as 16-bit and 32-bit TIFF images).

Benchmarking results

To run the benchmark yourself follow the instructions in benchmark/README.md

Results for running the benchmark on first 2000 images from the ImageNet validation set using an Intel Core i7-7800X CPU. All times are in seconds, lower is better.

Building the documentation

1. Go to docs/ directory

cd docs

2. Install required libraries

pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Build html files

make html

4. Open _build/html/index.html in browser.

Alternatively, you can start a web server that rebuilds the documentation automatically when a change is detected by running make livehtml

Comments

In some systems, in the multiple GPU regime PyTorch may deadlock the DataLoader if OpenCV was compiled with OpenCL optimizations. Adding the following two lines before the library import may help. For more details https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/issues/1355

cv2.setNumThreads(0)	
cv2.ocl.setUseOpenCL(False)
