Open Source Python Computer Vision Libraries for Mobile Operating Systems

The torchvision package consists of popular datasets, model architectures, and common image transformations for computer vision. We recommend Anaconda as Python package management system. Torchvision currently supports Pillow (default), Pillow-SIMD, which is a much faster drop-in replacement for Pillow with SIMD, if installed will be used as the default. Also, accimage, if installed can be activated by calling torchvision.set_image_backend('accimage'), libpng, which can be installed via conda conda install libpng or any of the package managers for debian-based and RHEL-based Linux distributions, and libjpeg, which can be installed via conda conda install jpeg or any of the package managers for debian-based and RHEL-based Linux distributions. It supports libjpeg-turbo as well. libpng and libjpeg must be available at compilation time in order to be available. TorchVision also offers a C++ API that contains C++ equivalent of python models.

Pipeless is an open-source computer vision framework to create and deploy applications without the complexity of building and maintaining multimedia pipelines. It ships everything you need to create and deploy efficient computer vision applications that work in real-time in just minutes. Pipeless is inspired by modern serverless technologies. It provides the development experience of serverless frameworks applied to computer vision. You provide some functions that are executed for new video frames and Pipeless takes care of everything else. You can easily use industry-standard models, such as YOLO, or load your custom model in one of the supported inference runtimes. Pipeless ships some of the most popular inference runtimes, such as the ONNX Runtime, allowing you to run inference with high performance on CPU or GPU out-of-the-box. You can deploy your Pipeless application with a single command to edge and IoT devices or the cloud.
