OrientationPy

Welcome to orientationpy, a small python package to help you analyse orientations in 2D and 3D. It offers tools to:

• measure local orientations in an image (either at each pixel or in boxes)

• plot orientation maps

• plot and analyse orientation distributions

OrientationPy is the pythonic successor to the well-loved OrientationJ Fiji Plugin (github) from the BIG (Biomedical Imaging Group) in EPFL. It is a library that takes in 2D images or 3D volumes and computes the orientation of the greylevels. A key step is the computation of image gradients, for which we offer a number of different techniques.

Please have a read of the How it works (+ definitions), and check out the OrientationPy examples!
