Image Decode Implementation with CV2 and nvjpeg

author: junjie.jiang

Description

An image decode operator implementation with OpenCV and nvjpeg. In CPU env, use OpenCV, in GPU env, use nvjpeg to decode jpeg files.

Code Example

Load a image from path './src_dog.jpg'.

Write the pipeline in simplified style:

from towhee import pipe, ops, DataCollection


p = (
  pipe.input('url')
  .map('url', 'image', ops.image_decode.nvjpeg())
  .output('image')
)

DataCollection(p('./src_dog.jpg')).show()

Factory Constructor

Create the operator via the following factory method:

ops.image_decode.nvjpeg()

Interface

An image decode operator takes an image path as input. It decodes the image back to ndarray.

Parameters:

img: str

​ Local file path or http url.

Returns: towhee.types.Image (a sub-class of numpy.ndarray)

​ The decoded image data as numpy.ndarray.
