pyidi 1.3.3

Python Image Displacement Identification.

pyidi

Image-based Displacement Identification (IDI) implementation in python.

See the documentation for pyIDI.

Now version 1.0!

In version 1.0, we overhauled the package API. With growing usage in IDEs other than jupyter notebooks, we have made the package more user-friendly. The new API allows the autocompletion and documentation of the package to be more accessible in IDEs like VSCode, Cursor, PyCharm, etc.

To install the new version, use the following command:

pip install pyidi

or to upgrade (if already installed):

pip install -U pyidi

Whats different?

For the user, the main difference is that instead of calling the pyIDI class where the method is set, first, the VideoReader class is called. Then, this instance is passed to the specific method class. Here is an example:

from pyidi import VideoReader, SimplifiedOpticalFlow

# Read the video
video = VideoReader('video.cih')

# Pass the video to the selected method class
sof = SimplifiedOpticalFlow(video)

sof.set_points(points=[[0, 1], [1, 1], [2, 1]])
sof.configure(...)
displacements = sof.get_displacements()

The methods themselves have not changed, only the way they are called. Unfortunately, this breaks the backward compatibility with the previous version. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. To keep using the old version, please install the package with the following command:

pip install pyidi==0.30.2

or use the legacy pyIDI class:

from pyidi import pyIDI

Note that the legacy pyIDI class does not necessarily offer the full functionality of the new version. The legacy pyIDI class is only kept for compatibility with the old version and will not be updated.

Use Napari UI for quick displacement identification:

BASIC USAGE:

Run GUI by instantiating GUI class (input is VideoReader object):

from pyidi import VideoReader, GUI

# Read the video
video = VideoReader('data/data_synthetic.cih')

# Run GUI
gui = GUI(video)

Method class (e.g. SimplifiedOpticalFlow) is instantiated during the use of GUI. It is accessible in gui.method. To get displacements:

method = gui.method
displacements = method.displacements

The pyIDI method works with various formats: .cih, .cihx, .png, .avi etc. Additionally, it can also work with numpy.ndarray as input. If an array is passed, it must have a shape of: (n time points, image height, image width).

Set the points where displacements will be determined:

p = np.array([[0, 1], [1, 1], [2, 1]]) # example of points
video.set_points(points=p)

Or use point selection UI to set individual points or grid inside selected area. For more information about UI see documentation. Launch viewer with:

DEVELOPER GUIDELINES:

• Add _name_of_method.py with class that inherits after IDIMethods
• This class must have methods:
  • calculate_displacements with attribute displacements
  • get_points (static method - sets attribute video.points)
• In pyIDI add a new method of identification in avaliable_methods dictionary.
