sdimg

Small, function-based image and mask processing library built on numpy.ndarray. The public API is pure functions and requires Python 3.12+.

Install

pip install sdimg

Modules

• sdimg.image: image conversion, filtering, enhancement, normalization, deterministic array IDs, lossless string codecs, and file I/O.
• sdimg.mask: binary conversion, geometry, connected components, morphology, hulls, and distance transforms.
• sdimg.spatial: crop, pad, resize, rotate, flip, and tile split/merge.
• sdimg.segment: Otsu thresholding and GrabCut refinement.

Public imports are flat within each domain:

from sdimg.image import apply_gaussian_blur, equalize_histogram
from sdimg.mask import apply_morphology, extract_roi
from sdimg.segment import refine_grabcut

Core Contracts

• Inputs are numpy.ndarray values with real numeric or boolean dtype.
• Images use non-empty shape (H, W) or (H, W, C) with C in {1, 2, 3, 4}.
• Color images are RGB. Convert OpenCV BGR inputs before calling sdimg.
• Channel meanings are grayscale, grayscale+alpha, RGB, and RGBA.
• sdimg.image processing returns np.uint8. Filters and enhancement preserve channel shape and leave alpha content unchanged.
• Masks use non-empty shape (H, W) and values bool, {0, 1}, or {0, 255}. Mask processing returns binary np.uint8 in {0, 1}; distance transforms return np.float32.
• sdimg.spatial operations preserve input dtype and channel shape.
• Points use (x, y). Bounding boxes use (xmin, ymin, xmax, ymax), minimum-inclusive and maximum-exclusive.
• Empty mask geometry returns None where no geometry exists.

Error Policy

• TypeError: wrong Python input type.
• ValueError: invalid shape, dtype, parameter, mask value, or bbox.
• RuntimeError: wrapped OpenCV, Pillow, or third-party failure.

Quick Example

import numpy as np

from sdimg.image import apply_gaussian_blur, equalize_histogram
from sdimg.mask import apply_morphology, extract_roi
from sdimg.segment import refine_grabcut

image = np.random.default_rng(0).integers(
    0,
    256,
    (128, 128, 3),
    dtype=np.uint8,
)
mask = np.zeros((128, 128), dtype=np.uint8)
mask[32:96, 40:88] = 1

image = equalize_histogram(image)
image = apply_gaussian_blur(image, kernel_size=(5, 5), sigma_x=1.2)
mask = apply_morphology(mask, operation="open", kernel_size=(3, 3))

roi_result = extract_roi(mask)
if roi_result is not None:
    roi_mask, bbox = roi_result
    refined = refine_grabcut(image, roi_mask, bbox)

Supporting Image Utilities

from sdimg.image import (
    decode_image,
    encode_image,
    make_array_id,
    read_image,
    write_image,
)

image = read_image("input.tif")
image_id = make_array_id(image, prefix="img_")

payload = encode_image(image)
restored = decode_image(payload)
write_image(f"{image_id}.png", restored)

read_image returns RGB uint8. High-bit-depth and floating images are scaled explicitly before RGB conversion. write_image writes RGB and ignores alpha. The lossless WebP string codec preserves RGBA alpha and ignores grayscale+alpha's alpha channel.
