imageprep 0.3

ImagePrep is a tool for preparing image labels in different formats, primarily for object detection tasks.

Deep Learning frameworks expect datasets to be prepared in a structure, style or format that fits into their workflow. With ImagePrep, you can easily organize labels according to these requirements. Currently, the tool simplifies the process of preparing labels using COCO, Pascal VOC and YOLO style format. Conversion to one from another is also supported.

Installation

stable version

pip install imageprep

latest version:

# clone repo
git clone https://github.com/adbeda/imageprep    

# install
cd imageprep && pip install -e .

# or simply with:
python -m pip install 'git+https://github.com/adbeda/imageprep.git' 

Usage

Example 1: Organize images and labels in COCO style

from imageprep import coco

"""
Folder Structure of a moc dataset

data

│   ├── 79_38.jpg
│   ├── 79_45.jpg
│   └── 80_7.jpg
└── labels

 └── 80_7.txt
"""

# folder containing images
image_path = "data/images/"
label_path = "data/labels/"

# run task
coco_dict = coco.coco_format_folder(image_path, label_path)

print(coco_dict)

Output:

   "image":[{
         "file_name":"data/images/145_28.jpg",
         "height":416,
         "width":416

         "area":1440,
         "category_id":0
      },
      {

      }
   ],

},

         "file_name":"data/images/79_38.jpg",

         "width":416
      }],

         "area":4352,
         "category_id":0
      }],
   "image_id":1}

]

Example 2: Convert absolute bounding box values to YOLO style formats

X_minY_minX_maxY_max -----> X_centerY_center Width Height

from imageprep import yolo

"""
# Input BBOX in absolute format (Xmin, Ymin, Xmax, Ymax)

  create-path-file  Writes out the path to images in a folder as a list
  get-image-name    Prints out the names of images in a folder
  resize-images     Resizes Image dimension to a size provided by user

The CLI is still in early stage of development.

Use case:

The above output can easily be integrated with data registration steps requried to train a Mask-RCNN model using Detectron2. Check out the example here.

Other functionalities included in the library:

• Create a list of all bounding boxes
• Stack and save images as numpy array
• Dump labels as JSON objects to a file
• Resize images within a single or multiple folders
• Convert relative (YOLO style) values to absolute ones
• Customize a python dictionary of labels to a Detectron2 format and more ...

TODO: current and future work

• Improve the CLI
• Add workflow for VOC style
• Test against RCNN families
• Create a documentation
• Improve integration for Detectron2 and YOLO
