Fast image augmentation library and easy to use wrapper around other libraries
Project description
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
How to use
All in one showcase notebook - showcase.ipynb
Classification - example.ipynb
Object detection - example_bboxes.ipynb
Non-8-bit images - example_16_bit_tiff.ipynb
Image segmentation example_kaggle_salt.ipynb
Custom tasks such as autoencoders, more then three channel images - custom_targets
You can use this Google Colaboratory notebook to adjust image augmentation parameters and see the resulting images.

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.
Migrating from torchvision to albumentations
Migrating from torchvision to albumentations is simple - you just need to change a few lines of code.
Albumentations has equivalents for common torchvision transforms as well as plenty of transforms that are not presented in torchvision.
migrating_from_torchvision_to_albumentations.ipynb
shows how one can migrate code from torchvision to albumentations.
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. The table shows how many images per second can be processed on a single core, higher is better.

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)
