imaugtools

imaugtools contains tools used for image augmentation: translate, rotate, crop. This library is for you if you do NOT want to stretch or skew, or pad pixels that would make your images look strange when doing any of these operations.

Installation

To install imaugtools, simply run in your terminal

pip install imaugtools

Usage

Example image

Translation

from imaugtools import translate_image
my_image_translated = translate_image(my_image, 0.1, 0.2)
my_image_translated_uncropped = translate_image(my_image, 0.1, 0.2, crop=False)
imshow(my_image_translated, my_image_translated_uncropped, mode='BGR')

imshow function used here is to simply display the images, you can use it from imshowtools library.

With and without crop:

Rotation

from imaugtools import rotate_image
my_image_rotated = rotate_image(my_image, 30) # angle in degrees
my_image_rotated_uncropped = rotate_image(my_image, 30, crop=False)
imshow(my_image_rotated, my_image_rotated_uncropped, mode='BGR')

With and without crop:

Cropping

from imaugtools import center_crop, crop_around_center
my_image_center_cropped = center_crop(my_image, (150, 200))
my_image_cropped_around_center = crop_around_center(my_image, (150, 200))
imshow(my_image_center_cropped, my_image_cropped_around_center, mode='BGR')

Aspect ratio preserving center crop and crop around center:

print(my_image_center_cropped.shape, my_image_cropped_around_center.shape)
# Output: (150, 200, 3) (150, 200, 3)

Advanced Usage

Strided Translation

Strided translation is one of the powerful image augmentation techniques used in training neural networks.

tx_max = 1 and ty_max = 1 is equivalent to a stride of 1 in both directions. After you specify tx_max, you can specify tx (translation in x-axis) from -tx_max to +tx_max. The same applies to ty and ty_max.

my_images_translated = []
for j in range(-1, 2):
    for i in range(-1, 2):
        my_images_translated.append(translate_image(my_image, i, j, tx_max=1, ty_max=1))
imshow(*my_images_translated, mode='BGR')

tx_max = 0.5 and ty_max = 0.5 is equivalent to a stride of 0.5 in both directions

my_images_translated = []
for j in range(-2, 3):
    for i in range(-2, 3):
        my_images_translated.append(translate_image(my_image, i/4, j/4, tx_max=0.5, ty_max=0.5))
imshow(*my_images_translated, mode='BGR')
