How-To use ImageProcessing CLI

Overview

The CLI accepts several command-line arguments that control the behavior of the image processing application. Below is a list of available command-line arguments and their descriptions.

InputPath

• Syntax: -in <inputPath>
• Description: Specifies the path to a file or directory where the images to be processed are located.

OutputPath

• Syntax: -out <outputPath>
• Description: Specifies the path to a file or directory where the processed images will be saved.

AgentsSupport

• Syntax: -agent=<agentType>
• Description: Allows you to specify the agent strategy to be used during image processing. You can choose from the following options:
  • Full, which uses a single agent for opening, processing and saving
  • Partial, which uses different agents for each transformation and saving
  • PartialUsingComposition, which uses one agent for transformation and one for saving
  • No, which uses naive image processing function

ProcessingUnit

• Syntax: -unit=<unitType>
• Description: Specifies the processing unit to be used for image processing. You can choose from the following options:
  • CPU
  • NvidiaGPU
  • IntelGPU
  • AmdGPU
  • AnyGPU

Transformations

• Syntax: <transformation1> <transformation2> ...
• Description: Provides a list of available transformations to be applied during image processing. You can choose from the following options:
  • Gauss
  • Sharpen
  • Lighten
  • Darken
  • Edges
  • RotationR
  • RotationL
  • FlipV
  • FlipH

Usage

Before usage, go to specify directory:

cd /path/to/ImageProcessing/src/ImageProcessing

To process images from one directory and save them to another, you can use the following commands.

• Оne transformation applied to each image in the directory

dotnet run -in /input/path -out /output/path -agent=full -unit=cpu gauss

• List of transformations that are sequentially applied

dotnet run -in /input/path -out /output/path  -agent=no -unit=anygpu gauss sharpen

Examples

Before usage, go to specify directory:

cd /path/to/ImageProcessing/src/ImageProcessing

1. Process images using the CPU with Gauss filter:

   dotnet run -in "input_directory" -out "output_directory" -unit=cpu gauss

2. Process images using an Nvidia GPU with full agent support and rotations:

   dotnet run -in "input_directory" -out "output_directory" -unit=NvidiaGPU -agent=Full -rotationl -rotationr
