SLDC, a generic framework for object detection and classification in large images.
Project description
# SLDC
_SLDC_ is a framework created for accelerating development of large image analysis workflows. It is especially well suited for solving more or less complex problems of object detection and classification in multi-gigapixel images.
The framework encapsulates problem-independent logic such as parallelism, memory constraints (due to large image handling) while providing a concise way of declaring problem-dependent components of the implementer’s workflows.

## Documentation
The algorithm used by the framework as well as some toy examples are presented in the [Wiki](https://github.com/waliens/sldc/wiki).
## Dependencies
The framework currently works under Python 2.7 and 3.5.
The required dependencies are the following :
Numpy (>= 1.10, might work with earlier versions)
OpenCV (>= 3.0)
Pillow (>= 3.1.1)
joblib (>= 0.9.4)
Shapely (>= 1.5.13)
Scipy (>= 0.18.1)
## Install
Simply: pip install sldc
#### On windows
On Windows, some .dll are needed by shapely and are not installed by pip when you install sldc. Therefore, you might have to install shapely yourself from conda (i.e. conda install shapely) or from [here](https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#shapely) after having run pip install sldc.
## Bindings
The library is image format agnostic and therefore allows you to integrate it with any existing image format by implementing some interfaces. However, some bindings were implemented for integrating SLDC with:
[Cytomine](http://www.cytomine.be/): [cytomine-sldc repository](https://github.com/cytomine/Cytomine-python-datamining/tree/master/cytomine-datamining/algorithms/sldc)
[OpenSlide](http://openslide.org/): [sldc-openslide repository](https://github.com/waliens/sldc-openslide)
