Imagin. (Beta release).

Imagin is an interactive viewer and analyzer for streamed images and image files, built with Python, pyqtgraph, and SciPy.

Features

• Input sources:
  • file system
  • HTTP image URLs

• Image orientation control and arbitrary rotation.
• Interactive zooming and panning.
• Contrast and color-map control.
• Region of interest (ROI) selection for image analysis.
• ROI partitioning.
• ROI projection plots.
• Isocurves, with the isocurve level used as the threshold for object detection.
• Fast, robust characterization of multiple objects using fitted ellipsoids.
• Optional Gaussian fitting in 1D or 2D for improved precision.
• De-speckling.
• Automatic background elimination using prominence filtering (de-base).
• Background subtraction using reference images.
• Interactive calibration from pixels to millimeters.

Presentation

Examples

python -m imagin -b file sample_images/*.jpg -t 100 -m 40
python -m imagin -b file ~/Pictures/*.png
python -m imagin -b pva image0:image

To start the image simulator for image0:image:

pip install epicsdev
python -m epicsdev.imagegen

The simulated EPICS camera can also be run from Docker:
