scikit-image is an image processing library that implements algorithms and utilities for use in research, education and industry applications.
This is a Python package dedicated to image processing, and using natively NumPy arrays as image objects.
It is released under the liberal Modified BSD open source license, provides a well-documented API in the Python programming language, and is developed by an active, international team of collaborators.
Key Features
- Different kinds of functions, from boilerplate utility functions to high-level recent algorithms.
- Filters: functions transforming images into other images:
- NumPy machinery.
- Common filtering algorithms.
- Data reduction functions: computation of image histogram, position of local maxima, of corners, etc.
- Other actions: I/O, visualization, etc.
- Filters: functions transforming images into other images:
