vision-utilities

What problem does it solve?

Vision utilities simplify efficient image loading, memory-mapped datasets, and notebook visualization for computer vision workflows, reducing setup complexity and bench time.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Fast Image Loading: GPU-accelerated with optional DALI, CPU fallback, batch processing, and image validation.
• Memory-Mapped Datasets: ImageMmap and ImageMmapDynamic for fixed and variable-size images with multi-process safety and fast access.
• Notebook Visualization: plot_images_notebook for auto-grid visualization of mixed inputs in notebooks.
• Use cases include training pipelines that require quick data loading, large datasets, and quick sanity checks in notebooks.

Quick Start

Run a simple example to read images, build an mmap dataset, and visualize results in a notebook.
