Python bindings for DIPlib, the quantitative image analysis library

Project description

Python bindings to DIPlib 3 (a.k.a. PyDIP)

Build Status Language grade: C/C++

Introduction

The purpose of the DIPlib project is to provide a one-stop library and development environment for quantitative image analysis, be it applied to microscopy, radiology, astronomy, or anything in between.

As oposed to all other image processing/analysis libraries and packages out there, DIPlib focuses on quantification. The first priority is precision, all other principles have a lower priority. Our principles are:

  1. Precision:

    We implement the most precise known methods, and output often defaults to floating-point samples. The purpose of these algorithms is quantification, not approximation.

  2. Ease of use

    Although our Python bindings are still quite rudimentary, and not much more than a thin wrapper of the C++ library functionality, the image analysis functionality is always easy to use. For example, the user does not, in general, need to be aware of the data type of the image to use these algorithms effectively.

  3. Efficiency

    We implement the most efficient known algorithms, as long as they don't compromise precision. Ease-of-use features might also incur a slight overhead in execution times. The library can be used in high-throughput quantitative analysis pipelines, but is not designed for real-time video processing.

Besides an extensive collection of image processing and analysis algorithms, this package contains DIPviewer, an interactive multi-dimensional image viewer, and DIPjavaio, an interface to the OME Bio-Formats library. The package is compatible with NumPy and any image processing package that uses a NumPy-compatible way of representing images.

See the DIPlib website for more information.

Installation

To install, simply type

pip install diplib

Windows users might need to install the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015, 2017 and 2019. To read images through the Bio-Formats library, you will need to download it separately:

python -m diplib download_bioformats

Usage

The interface only has automatically generated docstrings that show the names of each of the parameters. Use the DIPlib reference to learn how to use each function. Get started by reading the User Manual.
