imcoder - a friendly image encoder for cool people

Helps out by turning directories of images into arrays of feature vectors.

To encode the images

Run the encode command in the imcoder python package with the following command, replacing the directory arguments with your input and output directories.

python imcoder encode --dirs --format=mat INPUT_DIR OUTPUT_PATH dino2 [BATCH_SIZE]

Run the server that can encode over the HTTP API

To run the server from the root of the project:

flask --app imcoder.server --debug run

You can then head over to http://127.0.0.1:5000/static/index.html to use the Web UI or call the POST /encode route.

The image should be passes as part of the form data of the request body.
