Image Processing on Pythonista
-
I intend to purchase pythonista 3 on my 12.9 inch iPad Pro only if I’m able to import images and process them (fft, fft2).
Could someone please confirm this for me?
Also can anyone let me know if I can
%pip install scikit-image
On Pythonista.
Thanks a lot! -
@MrObedientDog, scikit-image is:
Python
92.3%Objective-C
4.2%
C
2.1%C++
1.2%Other
0.2%Pythonista supports only pure Python libraries, so no, at least on that count.

@MrObedientDog Pythonista supports PIL, see scikit-image vs pillow
-
regarding fft2:

works without modification.
pythonista includes a version of 1.8.0 of numpy and 1.4.0 of matplotlib. Those versions cannot be updated.
It does not include scikit, pandas, and those cannot be installed.
With some effort (no support except for this forum) you also have access to whatever iOS frameworks exist --CoreImage, MetalKit, AvFiundation, Quartz, OpenGL, though obviously anything you write using this will not be portable, except to Macs.
scikit-image functions in some cases could be ported over withiut much hassle. others require scikit.ndimage, which is written in c. Though it might not be terribly difficult to port the key pieces to pure python + numpy.
Folks with very specific module and version needs sometimes prefer the pyto app. That does I believe have scikit, plus you can submit pull requests for anything you need, or you can compile it yourself and sideload. A general problem with iOS is that you cannot install unsigned c modules, nor can you compile on device, Yet (not sure if the mac m1 has same limitations?)..
