It converts a single image into many slightly altered variants\u2014rotated, cropped, with noise added, colors shifted, or perspective changed\u2014to artificially expand training datasets and reduce overfitting in machine learning models.\n\nThe library handles not just raw images but also associated annotations: heatmaps, segmentation maps, keypoints, bounding boxes, polygons, and line strings. Transformations automatically align across all these data types (e.g., rotating an image and its bounding boxes by the same angle with zero extra code). It supports probability distributions as parameters, multicore augmentation, and a large collection of augmentation techniques including affine transforms, blurring, color shifts, dropout, and artistic effects.","worth_installing":"Yes, with caution about maintenance. imgaug is widely used (top 5000 on PyPI, 1351638 monthly downloads) and solves a real problem in machine learning workflows. Install friction is low and the MIT license is unrestrictive. However, the package is dormant\u2014last release was 2020-02-05, and two security vulnerabilities are recorded. For new projects, verify that the vulnerabilities do not affect your use case and that dependencies remain compatible with your Python version. For existing projects already using it, the risk of upgrading may outweigh the benefit."},"id":"imgaug","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/imgaug","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/imgaug.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/imgaug/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2020-02-05","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"imgaug","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Image augmentation library for deep neural networks"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":1351638,"position":4015,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":2},"version":"0.4.0"}
