faye-image 0.2.0

A image toolkit designed to convert the image file from any supported type to another one with only one line code.

FaYE-image

A image toolkit designed to convert the image file from any supported type to another one with only one line code.

current supported file types:

• .png
• .jpg / .jpeg
• .exr
• .gif
• .npy

current supported runtime data types:

• numpy.ndarray
• torch.Tensor
• cv2.Mat
• PIL.Image.Image
• matplotlib.pyplot.Figure

News

• 2021.10.12: FaYE 0.2.0 is released, bringing a totally new version of FaYE-image, with more operations and easier interfaces.

Requirement

Necessary packages

• numpy

Optional packages

• matplotlib
• PIL
• opencv-python
• torch
• OpenEXR

Usage

Installation:

pip install faye-image

To achieve this easy and uniform image data IO operations, you only need to add:

from faye_image import *

at the beginning of your code.

If you want to load a PNG image file into a torch tensor, you can simply call:

tensor = Convert('path/to/image.png', from_type=PNG_FILE, to_type=TORCH)

Or precisely version:

intermediate = From('path/to/image.png', data_type=PNG_FILE)
tensor = To(intermediate, data_type=TORCH)

If you want to save a torch tensor to a PNG image file, you can simply call:

Convert(tensor, from_type=TORCH, to_type=PNG_FILE, save_path='path/to/image.png', save_mode='RGB')

Or precisely version:

intermediate = From(tensor, data_type=TORCH)
To(intermediate, data_type=PNG_FILE, save_path='path/to/image.png', save_mode='RGB')

If you want to convert a numpy image data to a cv::Mat, you can simply call:

mat = Convert(numpy_image, from_type=NUMPY, to_type=CV_MAT)

Or precisely version:

intermediate = From(numpy_image, data_type=NUMPY)
mat = To(intermediate, data_type=CV_MAT)

Extension

If you want to make this module compatible with more image data types of your interest, you just need to implement a corresponding builder class inherited from the ImageDataBuilder class.

Then, call the RegisterBuilders(builder1, builder2, ...) at the end of your .py file to add the builder to the image factory.

The builder class should implement the following methods:

• CanBuild(data) -> bool: Check if the builder can build the data.
• GetTag() -> str: Get the tag of the builder.
• BuildIntermediate(data) -> ImageIntermediate: Build the image intermediate from the data. For current version, the image intermediate is a numpy array in [BxCxHxW] in float32.
• BuildData(intermediate: ImageIntermediate, **kwargs): Build the data from the image intermediate. Since the B maybe not 1, the batch dimension should be considered in the implementation. Returning a list of data is also supported.
