Usage as a library

Input and output as bytes

from iremover import remove

input_path = 'input.png'
output_path = 'output.png'

with open(input_path, 'rb') as i:
    with open(output_path, 'wb') as o:
        input = i.read()
        output = remove(input)
        o.write(output)

Input and output as a PIL image

from iremover import remove
from PIL import Image

input_path = 'input.png'
output_path = 'output.png'

input = Image.open(input_path)
output = remove(input)
output.save(output_path)

Input and output as a numpy array

from iremover import remove
import cv2

input_path = 'input.png'
output_path = 'output.png'

input = cv2.imread(input_path)
output = remove(input)
cv2.imwrite(output_path, output)

How to iterate over files in a performatic way

from pathlib import Path
from iremover import remove, new_session

session = new_session()

for file in Path('path/to/folder').glob('*.png'):
    input_path = str(file)
    output_path = str(file.parent / (file.stem + ".out.png"))

    with open(input_path, 'rb') as i:
        with open(output_path, 'wb') as o:
            input = i.read()
            output = remove(input, session=session)
            o.write(output)
