pyamiimage 0.0.13

Image analysis for words and graphics.

pyamiimage

pyamiimage is a set of tools to extract semantic information from scientific diagrams.

The current goal is to extract terpene synthase pathway diagrams. 'Extraction' means that we will go from pixel values in an image to a 'smart diagram'. The output of pyamiimage is an image with annotations of substrate, products and enzymes.

We are working to add more support for open formats that encode chemical/pathway information such as CML and GPML.
