Python bindings using ctypes for libraw.
Python3 compatible.
Originally based on the paper Processing RAW images in Python.
This version is updated and modified for use on Raspberry Pi and includes a pre-compiled libraw.so.20.0.0 file.
It is able to open .jpg files containing raw bayer data created with raspistill -r.
git clone https://github.com/Dan-in-CA/libraw_py.git
cd libraw_py
pip3 install .
(Be sure to include the trailing dot (.)).
The libraw.py module may be run stand-alone from the libraw_py folder:
python3 libraw.py "[/path/to/filename].jpg"
This will process the raw bayer data and output a "[fileneme]. ppm' file.
When imported into a Python3 program the libraw module can be used to open a Raspi raw .jpg file and the raw data loaded into a numpy array which can then be processed using numpy, openCV, scikit-image, etc.
See files in the examples folder and the code at the and of libraw.py in the if __name__ == "__main__": block for help getting started.
LGPLv2 (same as libraw)
