kiuikit

A toolkit for computer vision (especially 3D vision) tasks.

Features:

• Collection of maintained, reusable and trustworthy code snippets.
• Always using lazy import so the code is not slowed down by import kiui.
• Useful CLI tools, such as a GUI mesh renderer.

Install

# released
pip install kiui # install the minimal package
pip install kiui[full] # install optional dependencies

# latest
pip install git+https://github.com/ashawkey/kiuikit.git # only the minimal package

Usage

import kiui

### auto import
kiui.env() # os, glob, math, time, random, argparse
kiui.env('data') # above + np, plt, cv2, Image, ...
kiui.env('torch') # above + torch, nn, F, ...

### quick inspection of array-like object
x = torch.tensor(...)
y = np.array(...)

kiui.lo(x)
kiui.lo(x, y) # support multiple objects

kiui.lo(kiui) # or any other object (just print with name)

### io utils
# read image as-is in RGB order
img = kiui.read_image('image.png', mode='float') # mode: float (default), pil, uint8, tensor
# write image
kiui.write_image('image.png', img)

### visualization tools
img_tensor = torch.rand(3, 256, 256) 
# tensor of [3, H, W], [1, H, W], [H, W] / array of [H, W ,3], [H, W, 1], [H, W] in [0, 1]
kiui.vis.plot_image(img)
kiui.vis.plot_image(img_tensor)

### mesh utils
from kiui.mesh import Mesh
mesh = Mesh.load('model.obj')
kiui.lo(mesh.v, mesh.f) # CUDA torch.Tensor suitable for nvdiffrast
mesh.write('new.obj')
mesh.write('new.glb') # support exporting to GLB/GLTF too (texture embedded).

# perceptual loss (from https://github.com/richzhang/PerceptualSimilarity)
from kiui.lpips import LPIPS
lpips = LPIPS(net='vgg').cuda()
loss = lpips(input, target) # [B, 3, H, W] image in [-1, 1]
