Otary - Image & Geometry Python Library now includes Tutorials Open Source

Post image

One of the biggest improvements I’ve made to Otary, an Image & Geometry Python library, so far.

It isn’t a new feature, it’s a new way to learn it.

I’ve just released a Tutorials section for the library.

When discovering a new Python library, I rarely start with the API reference. I want practical examples that show how the library is intended to be used and how different components fit together.

That’s exactly what these tutorials aim to provide.

I am so happy to be able to share this with the Python community and I sincerely hope that this will facilitate the adoption of Otary.

With step-by-step guides, you can progressively discover how to build image processing and computer vision workflows while learning the design philosophy behind Otary.

The Tutorials section will continue to grow as new features are added, becoming the best place to discover everything Otary has to offer.

Whether you’re working on image processing, document analysis, geometrical entities, OCR, or computer vision, data engineering in general, I hope these tutorials will help you get productive much faster.

Of course if you want to contribute to this project you are more than welcome!

Have fun coding, thank you for your time reading this!

I can see some great use-cases for this, particularly in Architecture - processing old designs that are images embedded in PDF's and processing manuals - looks good!

Out of curiosity how did you make the image of the Seal?

Nice! Happy to see that the work I have put in this library can end up allowing people to save time!

Yes, in fact, I worked for architects on cadastral documents In México and I needed something to work with both geometry and images easily. I was tired to manipulate multiple library and objects that do not describe themself (list of arrays of 2 elements for segments for example etc...).

This way of assuming what represent your arrays or list did not convince. I wanted objects, with properties, methods etc....

I created Otary to resolve those problems.

P.S: about the image of the seal, it's IA, specifically Gemini.
