10 Python Image Processing Libraries for every developer

In computer science, the digital image process is the use of machine algorithms to perform an image process on digital pictures. As a subcategory or field of digital signal processors, the digital image process has several benefits over the analog image process. Python is a superb selection for these styles of image process tasks because of its growing quality as a scientific programing language and also the free availableness of the many progressive image process tools in its system.

12 Python Image Processing Libraries for every developer

 

1.imgseek  (Searches images using visual similarity)

imgSeek is a photo collection manager and viewer with content-based search and many other features. The query is expressed either as a rough sketch painted by the user or as another image you supply (or an image in your collection). imgSeek photo collection manager and viewer with content-based query.
Installation 
$pip install imgSeek
The purpose of pagan is to use it for generating a user image in any web application. It is is meant to replace default user images when creating new accounts or to enhance comment sections, e.g.  visualizing the author's IP address or username. Each string input will be hashed and a unique avatar image is generated.

The software is currently under development and features the following functions:
 - Process a given string to generate identicons with unique colors and gear.
 - The hash function can be chosen from the ones included in Python's hashlib.
 - Create the avatar image based on a given resolution.
 - Pagan will map all virtual 16x16 pixels to the real image size.
Installation 
$pip install pagan

 

3.thumbor (Enables on demand crop, resizing and flipping of images)

 thumbor is a smart imaging service. It enables on-demand crop, resizing and flipping of images.It also features a VERY smart detection of important points in the image for better cropping and  resizing, using state-of-the-art face and feature detection algorithms (more on that in Detection Algorithms). Using thumbor is very easy (after it is running).

Installation  
$pip install thumbor

 

4.nudity.py (Nudity detection)

 Nudity detection with re-trained Tensorflow MobileNet Model. Accuracy is 92.2% based on my dataset.

Installation  
$pip install nudity

 

5.pyBarcode (Create Barcodes)

This library provides a simple way to create barcodes using only the Python standardlib. The barcodes where created as SVG objects.

Installation   
$pip install pyBarcode 

 

6.python-qrcode (A pure python QR code generator)

 A Quick Response code is a two-dimensional pictographic code used for its fast readability and comparatively large storage capacity. The code consists of black modules arranged in a square pattern on a white background. The information encoded can be made up of any kind of data (e.g., binary, alphanumeric, or Kanji symbols)

Installation   
$pip install qrcode[pil]
 Python Imaging Library (abbreviated as PIL) (in newer versions known as Pillow) is a free library for the Python programming language that adds support for opening, manipulating, and saving many different image file formats.

Installation
$pip install pillow

 

8.pygram (Instgram like image filters)

Python unofficial API to connect with Instagram web and it Instagram-like image filters. 

Installation
$pip install pygram


Usages
>>> import pygram as pg
>>> app = pg.PyGram()
>>> app.run()
Wand is a ctypes-based simple ImageMagick binding for Python. It doesn't cover all functionalities of MagickWand API currently.

Installation
$pip install wand

  

10.scikit-image (python library fro scientific image processing)

Image processing algorithms for SciPy, including IO, morphology, filtering, warping, color manipulation, object detection, etc.

Installation
$pip instal scikit-image
