A short tour of Scikit-image library with hands-on code¶
Examples curated and annotated by Dr. Tirthajyoti Sarkar, based on the Scikit-image gallery, August 2020¶
What is Scikit-image?¶
Scikit-image is a collection of fast and popular algorithms for image processing. It is licensed uder the “Modified BSD” clause and is available free of charge or of any kind of restriction.
The developres pride themselves on high-quality, peer-reviewed code, written by an active community of volunteers.
Here is a snapshot of the core team from their website.

What is this book about?¶
In this short book, we illustrate some of the core algorithms/functions of this popular Python library for image processing and manipulation tasks, with hands-on code examples.
You can think of scikit-image as the first essential library to get familiar with, if you want to work in the field of computer vision/ image processing.
Examples from the Scikit-image website¶
All the examples in this book are directly from the Scikit-image website. I have merely enhanced the code with comments and put them together in a single, navigable manner.
The code examples are used here under the terms of the BSD-license of the scikit-image project.
Built using Jupyter-book¶
This book has been built and published using the Jupyter-book tool. It is an open source project for building beautiful, publication-quality books and documents from computational material.
