This visualization batch-processes image files by running optical character recognition on each photo and storing the extracted text in the EXIF metadata field `ImageDescription`. It scans folders for JPG, JPEG, and PNG files, uses the `pyocr` library with Tesseract to recognize Portuguese text, and writes the result via `piexif`. The script employs `multiprocessing.Pool` for parallel execution and skips already-processed files by checking for existing descriptions or thumbnail files.

This example converts a tall image into a table-based OpenDocument (ODT) file by slicing it into horizontal strips of 75 pixels each. It uses Python’s Pillow library (`Image.crop`, `Image.new`) to segment the image, then embeds each slice into the ODT’s `Pictures/` directory via `zipfile`. The code dynamically writes XML content referencing table rows and images, with a helper function to update the archive. It processes all JPG and PNG files in the current directory, producing a spreadsheet-like visual layout from the original raster data.

Gist 777424

This visualization displays a collection of image files from a local corpus, listing filenames and their paths as a Processing script scans a directory. It shows the file discovery process, including successful finds and error messages for files that fail to load. The code uses CImg library methods like `load()` and `sum()` to handle image processing, catching exceptions for unrecognized formats or empty instances. The output presents a text-based log of the scanning operation, revealing the variety of image types encountered.

batch processing in Python for Abbyy fine reader

This example demonstrates a Python batch-processing script for the Abbyy FineReader OCR cloud service, enabling automated document recognition across entire folders. The code defines an `AbbyyOnlineSdk` class that handles image uploads via HTTP POST requests, polls task status until completion, and downloads recognized text results. Two scripts are included: `SimpleFolderProcess.py` processes all files in an input folder and saves `.txt` results to an output folder, while `process-for-folders.py` extends this with command-line arguments for specifying source/target files, language, and output format (txt, pdf, rtf, docx, or xml), along with environment-variable support for credentials and proxy settings. The visualization of interest is the batch workflow: a loop iterates over source files, submits each for OCR, polls the cloud service at intervals, and writes the recognized text to corresponding output files, demonstrating asynchronous cloud-based processing with status tracking and result downloading.

Add Exif date for the missing

This example demonstrates a Python script that fills in missing EXIF date metadata for image files by parsing dates embedded in filenames. It processes all images in a local `./img/` directory, checking whether each file already contains EXIF data before adding `DateTimeOriginal` and `DateTimeDigitized` tags using the `piexif` library. The script extracts the date from the filename format `_YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS`, converts it to the standard EXIF format, and writes it back into the image file with `piexif.insert`. Files that already have EXIF data are skipped.

Extract EXIF from image in Python

This example demonstrates how to extract EXIF metadata from an image file in Python using the Pillow library. It first prints the raw image information and the EXIF bytes stored in the `info` dictionary, then iterates through the parsed EXIF tags with both the modern `getexif()` method and the deprecated `_getexif()` method. Each tag’s numeric key is translated to a human-readable name using `ExifTags.TAGS`, and the results are printed as key-value pairs. The code shows two equivalent API approaches for accessing the same metadata.

Update Facebook Photos Export with EXIF data

This example restores missing creation metadata to photos exported from Facebook by rewriting EXIF, XMP, and IPTC tags. It reads each album’s JSON file from the `posts/album/` directory, extracts the photo URI and creation timestamp, and converts the Unix timestamp to a readable date. Using `pyexiv2`, it updates fields such as `Exif.Image.DateTime`, `Xmp.photoshop.DateCreated`, and `Iptc.Application2.Caption` with the original timestamp and photo title/description. The script processes all album JSON files in the folder, ensuring the exported images retain accurate capture dates.

Batch script for automated photogrammetry tracking workflow

This example shows a fully automated photogrammetry tracking workflow that converts video files into COLMAP sparse models. The batch script processes videos from an input folder, extracts frames using FFmpeg, runs feature matching and sparse reconstruction via COLMAP’s command-line interface, and organizes results into per-scene folders. It includes progress logging, error handling, and skips already-processed videos on reruns, with all paths resolved relative to the script’s location.

This example processes brain scan sprite images for use in a web-based visualization. It loads PNG files from a local directory, replaces pure black pixels with white, and then applies histogram equalization and autocontrast using Pillow’s `ImageOps` and `ImageEnhance`. The cleaned images are saved to a new path, with the code iterating over a list of subject IDs read from a text file via `np.genfromtxt`. It reports completion or errors for each subject, demonstrating a batch image-preprocessing pipeline for preparing neuroimaging data.
