Image Features Extraction Package

This package allows the fast extraction and classification of features from a set of images.

Package documentation

Tutorial

This Python package allows the fast extraction and classification of features from a set of images. The resulting data frame can be used as training and testing set for machine learning classifier.

This package was originally developed to extract measurements of single cell nuclei from microscopy images (see figure above). The package can be used to extract features from any set of images for a variety of applications. Below it is shown a map of Boston used for city density and demographic models.

Features extraction for spatial classification of images

The image below shows a possible workflow for image feature extraction: two sets of images with different classification labels are used to produce two data sets for training and testing a classifier

An example of Collection-object and Iterator implementation

The object 'Image' includes the function Voronoi(), which returns the object Voronoi of my package Voronoi_Features. The Voronoi object can be used to measure the voronoi tassels of each image regions. It includes >30 measurements. Below an example of voronoi diagrams from the image shown above

To measure intensity from image regions

The example below shows how to associate a grayscale image to a binary one for intensity measurement. The package uses intenally a very simple segmentation algorithm based on an Otsu Thresholding method for segmentation of binary images. The goal of the package is not to segment images but to measure their segmented features. The correct way to use this package is by using as input pre-segmented binary images and if intensity measurement are needed to associate the original grayscale image.

IMG = IMGS.item(1)

IMG.set_image_intensity(IMGS.item(0))

features = IMG.features(['label', 'area','perimeter', 'centroid', 'moments','mean_intensity'])

df = features.get_dataframe()

df.head()
<style> .dataframe thead tr:only-child th { text-align: right; }

    text-align: left;

An example of how save measured features

This package includes the class Features for data managment layer, which is used to separate the business from the data layer and allow easy scalability of the data layer.

import image_features_extraction.Images as fe


IMGS = fe.Images('../images/EDGE')

storage_name = '../images/DB1.csv'
class_value = 1

for IMG in IMGS:
    print(IMG.file_name())

    REGS = IMG.regions()

    FEATURES = REGS.features(['area','perimeter', 'extent', 'equivalent_diameter', 'eccentricity'], class_value=class_value)

    FEATURES.save(storage_name, type_storage='file', do_append=True)
