imutils
A collection of convenience functions to simplify common image processing tasks with OpenCV and Python.
What is imutils?
imutils is a Python package that provides a series of convenience functions to simplify common image processing tasks when using OpenCV. It reduces boilerplate code for operations like translation, rotation, resizing, skeletonization, and displaying images with Matplotlib, making computer vision workflows more efficient and readable. The package is compatible with both Python 2.7 and Python 3.
Python developers and researchers working with OpenCV for computer vision projects who want to reduce repetitive code and simplify image manipulation tasks.
Developers choose imutils because it eliminates the need to write verbose OpenCV code for common operations, provides helper functions for tasks OpenCV doesn't handle directly (like skeletonization), and ensures compatibility across different OpenCV versions and Python releases.
