Is there any way of locating files in such a distribution? If so, we can
incorporate it in the plugin loader.

So I've been hacking on a new implementation of an
image-viewer/interactive-image-processor. See PR 229:
https://github.com/scikits-image/scikits-image/pull/229
The previous implementation was written purely in Matplotlib, partly for
portability. Unfortunately, I found this implementation a bit limiting
because Matplotlib doesn't provide quite-enough widget support. In
addition, there was no way to add custom toolbars or menus without getting
toolkit-specific.
So, I've added a new implementation that requires PyQt but also uses
Matplotlib because of the wealth of plotting functionality that it provides.
There's a lot that I added in my original implementation that needs to be
updated for this implementation (an image collection viewer, and Guillaume
Gay's contrast setter and line-profile plugins). I'm of the opinion,
however, that these should be implemented later in order to reduce the work
to review this PR (that's actually why I moved the line profile
plugin<https://github.com/tonysyu/scikits-image/blob/qtmpl-lineprofile/skimage/vie…>to
a separate branch).
Overall, I'm pretty happy with the current implementation. The basic idea
is that there's a viewer class (to view images, of course). You can then
connect plugins to the viewer, which typically calls some sort of filter
function, but that's in no way a requirement (for example, the line-profile
plugin measures values in the image). Also, there are widgets that get
attached to these plugins (currently, just a slider and a combo box) to
adjust filtering or plugin parameters.
There are two ways to implement a plugin: The first is by subclassing the
base `Plugin` class<https://github.com/tonysyu/scikits-image/blob/qtmpl-viewer/skimage/viewer/p…>.
The second (which I shamelessly stole from Bokeh) instantiates a plugin and
just adds widgets<https://github.com/tonysyu/scikits-image/blob/qtmpl-viewer/viewer_examples/…>(using
the addition operator) to control filter parameters. The first is
probably more flexible, while the second is convenient for people who may
not be as comfortable with object-oriented programming (plus I think it
reads really well).
It's a big PR, but I'd really appreciate comments and suggestions.
Cheers,

P.S. Stefan: In a separate branch, I've added the Hough Transform plugin
you so desired. Right now it's a little hacky, partly because I haven't yet
built the infrastructure to support this type of plot (not only does it
plot an overlay but also Matplotlib lines; in addition, parameters have to
be delegated to two different functions). Nevertheless, the implementation
is surprisingly
short<https://github.com/tonysyu/scikits-image/blob/qtmpl-houghplugin/viewer_exam…>,
despite not adding anything else to support this use case.

The question is if there is something you would like in skimage that
would require the use of something from sklearn.
I.e. what algorithm you want in skimage is only useful together with
something from sklearn?
I don't think any of your examples are in this category. Which is well
enough, since this means
it should be easy to keep the two things separate ;)
Btw, MRFs in vision are often not learned, so this is no ML, just
optimization. And I would rather place
that in skimage, as it is quite image specific. When I talked about
graph-cuts, that's what I meant.
Normalized cuts are of limited use in low level vision since they are
very slow for superpixels.
I was rather thinking of Boykov-Kolmogorov push-relabel - which is my
next project when I get
my superpixels done. (Stefan actually mentioned he'd like to have it :)
Abour RBMs: I am

but I would rather not include them in sklearn and definitely not in
skimage.

Hi Wei.
While I'm not so active in skimage at the moment, I am very interested
in how to connect sklearn and skimage.
I think at the moment the best approach would be to leave the two
packages independent but try
not to reimplement to much.
Many of the ML methods applied to images can be made much more efficient
for images, so reimplementing these is
definitely worth it. For example image segmentation algorithms often
build on clustering algorithms (like the one you
mentioned) but they can be made much faster by only considering local
neighborhoods.
(which is why I work on #206
<https://github.com/scikits-image/scikits-image/pull/206>)
In most cases that I am interested in the "higher level" ML sort of
"wraps around" the CV, as for example with descriptors
and classification. I would place all descriptors in skimage but skimage
doesn't need sklearn as a dependence for me to
be able to use an SVM on them.
Do you have more examples where sklearn and skimage might overlap?
I was actually wondering about doing a grab-cut implementation which
needs Gaussian mixture models.
But before I get there, we need graph cuts in skimage ;)
Cheers,
Andy

Hi everybody.
I wanted to look into doing a RGB2Lab conversion in skimage
but I got a bit confused with the different color spaces.
The standard method to go from RGB to Lab seems to be via XYZ.
I compared the way that RGB2XYZ is done in scikits-image, vl_feat
and the SLIC code, and they seem to be three different ways.
As I want to use Lab for the segmentation methods by the vl_feat
authors and SLIC, I feel this is a bit unfortunate.
The difference between wikipedia, skimage and vl_feat seems to be
that vl_feat does a gamma-correction of 2.2.
SLIC does something else that I don't really understand.
Could someone help me understand the differences so that I can
try and reproduce other peoples' results?
Cheers,
Andy

The paper compare a lot of methods, right? Which one do you mean?
I'm working with Carsten Rother and we are doing super fancy super
secret things ;)
Basically it's an extension of an upcoming ECCV paper on Decision Tree
Fields.

Thanks, that would be great. I'll try to do it myself but I'm pretty
swamped with work atm.

Hey Stefan.
Actually I don't know how these kind of filter banks compare
with wavelets. They just seem kind of popular with computer
vision people.
There is no wavelet filter bank in skimage, is there?
I guess it would be easy enough to do with scipy, though.
By the way, you mentioned you are interested in matting.
I'm working on the alphamatting.com dataset this week :)
OT: Sorry for not finishing up my segmentation PR.
It is quite mature but I wanted to compare it to the standard
implementations. But for that I need Lab color space conversions,
which I didn't get around doing yet.
