img-filter-api

Simple image filtering API built with FastAPI.

Description

This project uses Fast Api framework. It exposes simple and extendable api for image manipulation. To get started read the installation guide, move to the docs, and then read the section "Extending api with custom filters".

Installation

Clone the repository

$ git clone https://github.com/RaRhAeu/img-filter-api

Install dependencies via pipenv

$ pipenv install

Activate pipenv shell

$ pipenv shell

Run the uvicorn server

(venv)$ uvicorn app:app

Alternatively you can use avalable Dockerfile. After that, api documentation will be available at http://127.0.0.1:8000/docs

Extending api with custom filters

To get started with your own filters, all you have to do is add a function to filters.py, with the following prototype:

def my_filter(img: np.ndarray) -> np.ndarray:
    # do something with img
    return new_img

and then add its name to filter_map, which maps functions names to its objects

filter_map = {
    ...
    "my_filter": my_filter
}

now you can request the api endpoints giving it the ?filter parameter equals to my_filter.

List of currently available filters:

• gaussian - Gaussian blur
• vintage - Vintage effect
• edge - Edge detection

Warning:

Not all filters are compatible with each other, therefore order of applying them might matter, eg. you cannot run edge filter, and then gaussian, because the first one reduces the dimension of an image array.
