Depth Tools

A simple pure Python implementation for common depth-map-related operations.

Minimal installation:

pip install depth_tools

Features:

• Loss calculation
• Dataset handling (requires extra Datasets)
• Prediction alignment
• Depth clip implementation
• Limited Pytorch support (requires package Pytorch)
• Point cloud diagram creation (requires extra Plots)
• Depth/disparity/distance normalization
• Conversion between depth maps and distance maps

The contents of the extras:

• Datasets: scipy, h5py, Pillow, pandas
• Plots: matplotlib, plotly

All Pytorch-related functions are contained by the depth_tools.pt package. Contrary to its root package, you need to install Pytorch to import this package.

Documentation:

• Introduction
• Array formats

Comparison to Open3D

These two packages have somewhat different goals.

Open3D has a wider scope, like GUI handling. In exchange, it has more dependencies and it is partially written in C++.

Depth Tools has a narrower scope. In exchange, it is written in pure Python and tries to minimize the number of dependencies. Depth tools also uses a simpler camera model (with all of its pros and cons).
