A Python library of convenience functions that simplify common OpenCV image processing tasks such as translation, rotation, resizing, skeletonization, and displaying Matplotlib images. It wraps verbose OpenCV calls into simple one-line helpers.

Use cases

  • resize images with opencv without computing aspect ratios
  • rotate an image around a point in python
  • translate an image with a single function call
  • find opencv function names quickly
  • display matplotlib images in an opencv window
  • build a document scanner with opencv

When to choose

  • you use OpenCV in Python and want shorter, more readable code for common image operations
  • you're learning computer vision and want simpler APIs over raw OpenCV
  • you need quick helpers for resizing, rotating, or translating images

When to avoid

  • you need advanced or cutting-edge image processing features beyond OpenCV's basics
  • you want a library with frequent updates and active development
  • you're not using OpenCV or Python
