ImageProcessor

Overview

Images form a significant part of the data in today's world. Whether you want to enhance your poorly-lit profile picture or analyze satellite images, filters are your best friends. In scientific image processing, at most times, the images cannot be used directly and need to be processed to extract information from them. ImageProcessor aims to make the image processing task easy and intuitive. With ImageProcessor, users can rotate the image, convert it to greyscale, flip it horizontally in black and white, and add padding to it (frame).

Python ecosystem

Our package fits in the Python ecosystem. There are plenty of packages with image and idvanced image proccessing functionalities. One of the most comprehensive image processing library in Python is scikit-image. We're looking to simply some of the images proccessing features. Moreover, we're planning to add some of the image processing functions from DSCI 511, lab3 and DSCI 572 into the package for use by MDS instructors in the future.

Functions

• flipping: This function can be used to flip the image horizontally in black and white

• greyscale: The greyscale function converts a color image into a greyscale image.

• padding: This function can be used to add padding to the the borders of an image.

• rotate: The rotate function rotates an image by the specified number of degrees.
