Open Source Python Computer Vision Libraries

ImageAI is an easy-to-use Computer Vision Python library that empowers developers to easily integrate state-of-the-art Artificial Intelligence features into their new and existing applications and systems. It is used by thousands of developers, students, researchers, tutors and experts in corporate organizations around the world. You will find features supported, links to official documentation as well as articles on ImageAI. ImageAI is widely used around the world by professionals, students, research groups and businesses. ImageAI provides API to recognize 1000 different objects in a picture using pre-trained models that were trained on the ImageNet-1000 dataset. The model implementations provided are SqueezeNet, ResNet, InceptionV3 and DenseNet. ImageAI provides API to detect, locate and identify 80 most common objects in everyday life in a picture using pre-trained models that were trained on the COCO Dataset.

A lightweight vision library for performing large-scale object detection & instance segmentation. Object detection and instance segmentation are by far the most important fields of applications in Computer Vision. However, detection of small objects and inference on large images are still major issues in practical usage. Here comes the SAHI to help developers overcome these real-world problems with many vision utilities. Detection of small objects and objects far away in the scene is a major challenge in surveillance applications. Such objects are represented by small number of pixels in the image and lack sufficient details, making them difficult to detect using conventional detectors. In this work, an open-source framework called Slicing Aided Hyper Inference (SAHI) is proposed that provides a generic slicing aided inference and fine-tuning pipeline for small object detection.

Raster Vision is an open source framework for Python developers building computer vision models on satellite, aerial, and other large imagery sets (including oblique drone imagery). There is built-in support for chip classification, object detection, and semantic segmentation using PyTorch. Raster Vision allows engineers to quickly and repeatably configure pipelines that go through core components of a machine learning workflow: analyzing training data, creating training chips, training models, creating predictions, evaluating models, and bundling the model files and configuration for easy deployment. The input to a Raster Vision pipeline is a set of images and training data, optionally with Areas of Interest (AOIs) that describe where the images are labeled. The output of a Raster Vision pipeline is a model bundle that allows you to easily utilize models in various deployment scenarios.

OpenFieldAI use AI-CNN to track rodents movement with pretrained OFAI models , or user could create their own model with YOLOv8 for inferencing. The software generates Centroid graph, Heat map and Line path and a spreadsheet containing all calculated parameters like - Speed - Time in and out of ROI - Distance - Entries/Exits for single/multiple pre-recorded videos or live webcam video. The ROI is assigned automatically in multiple video input , and can be manually given in single input. - For Queries/ Reporting Bugs, contact: kabeermuzammil614@gmail.com - Available on WIndows OS

Albumentations is a computer vision tool that boosts the performance of deep convolutional neural networks. Albumentations is a Python library for fast and flexible image augmentations. Albumentations efficiently implements a rich variety of image transform operations that are optimized for performance, and does so while providing a concise, yet powerful image augmentation interface for different computer vision tasks, including object classification, segmentation, and detection. Albumentations supports different computer vision tasks such as classification, semantic segmentation, instance segmentation, object detection, and pose estimation. Albumentations works well with data from different domains: photos, medical images, satellite imagery, manufacturing and industrial applications, Generative Adversarial Networks. Albumentations can work with various deep learning frameworks such as PyTorch and Keras.

ChainerCV is a collection of tools to train and run neural networks for computer vision tasks using Chainer. In ChainerCV, we define the object detection task as a problem of, given an image, bounding box-based localization and categorization of objects. Bounding boxes in an image are represented as a two-dimensional array of shape (R,4), where R is the number of bounding boxes and the second axis corresponds to the coordinates of bounding boxes. ChainerCV supports dataset loaders, which can be used to easily index examples with list-like interfaces. Dataset classes whose names end with BboxDataset contain annotations of where objects locate in an image and which categories they are assigned to. These datasets can be indexed to return a tuple of an image, bounding boxes and labels. ChainerCV provides several network implementations that carry out object detection.

PyTorch training code and pretrained models for DETR (DEtection TRansformer). We replace the full complex hand-crafted object detection pipeline with a Transformer, and match Faster R-CNN with a ResNet-50, obtaining 42 AP on COCO using half the computation power (FLOPs) and the same number of parameters. Inference in 50 lines of PyTorch. What it is. Unlike traditional computer vision techniques, DETR approaches object detection as a direct set prediction problem. It consists of a set-based global loss, which forces unique predictions via bipartite matching, and a Transformer encoder-decoder architecture. Given a fixed small set of learned object queries, DETR reasons about the relations of the objects and the global image context to directly output the final set of predictions in parallel. Due to this parallel nature, DETR is very fast and efficient.

GluonCV provides implementations of state-of-the-art (SOTA) deep learning algorithms in computer vision. It aims to help engineers, researchers, and students quickly prototype products, validate new ideas and learn computer vision. It features training scripts that reproduce SOTA results reported in latest papers, a large set of pre-trained models, carefully designed APIs and easy-to-understand implementations and community support. From fundamental image classification, object detection, semantic segmentation and pose estimation, to instance segmentation and video action recognition. The model zoo is the one-stop shopping center for many models you are expecting. GluonCV embraces a flexible development pattern while is super easy to optimize and deploy without retaining a heavyweight deep learning framework.
