drishya_vastu - ImageEngine

ImageEngine is a Python image processing library that integrates with C++ for high-performance operations. Note: C++ binaries are not included and need to be compiled.

Features

• Grayscale Conversion: Convert RGB images to grayscale.
• Brightness Adjustment: Adjust brightness for red, green, and blue channels.
• Contrast Adjustment: Enhance or reduce contrast.
• Channel Extraction: Extract specific color channels (Red, Green, Blue).
• Maximum Channel Preservation: Preserve the maximum intensity channel.
• Sobel Edge Detection: Detect edges using the Sobel operator.
• Image Display: Display images directly.
• Image Rotation: Rotate images by specified degrees.
• Image Cropping: Crop images to specified dimensions.

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/ImageEngine.git

2. Compile the C++ binaries in the utility directory:

   g++ -shared -o rbg2grey.so rbg2grey.cpp
   g++ -shared -o brighten.so brighten.cpp
   g++ -shared -o contrast.so contrast.cpp
   g++ -shared -o channel_extraction.so channel_extraction.cpp
   g++ -shared -o keepmaxchannel.so keepmaxchannel.cpp
   g++ -shared -o sobel_edge.so sobel_edge.cpp
   g++ -shared -o rotate.so rotate.cpp
   g++ -shared -o crop.so crop.cpp

3. Install dependencies:

   pip install numpy

Usage

Import and use ImageEngine in your Python scripts:

from imageengine import ImageEngine

engine = ImageEngine()
grey_image = engine.grey_scale(image_data, height, width)

The name is derived from sanskrit where:
-> drishya is translated as image
-> vaastu is translated as architecture
