5.1.1. Image augmentation with albumentations

Are you looking for a powerful library for image augmentation?

Use albumentations.

albumentations is a Python library for fast and easy image augmentation, working seamlessly with PyTorch and Tensorflow.

You can easily apply over 70 different transformations.

And boost your Computer Vision model.

!pip install albumentations

import albumentations as A
import cv2
import numpy as np

image = cv2.imread("image.jpg")

# Define the augmentations you want to apply
transform = A.Compose([
    A.HorizontalFlip(),
    A.ToGray(),
    A.GridDropout(),
    A.VerticalFlip(),
    A.ChannelShuffle(),
])



# Apply the augmentations to the image
augmented_images = transform(image=np.array(image))["image"]
