We are actively seeking contributors to help expand and enhance our library, making it even more powerful, accessible, and versatile. Whether you're an experienced developer or just starting, there's a place for you in our community.
We are excited to announce our latest advancement: a new initiative designed to seamlessly integrate lightweight AI models into Kornia. We aim to run any models as smooth as big models such as StableDiffusion, to support them well in many perspectives. We have already included a selection of lightweight AI models like YuNet (Face Detection), Loftr (Feature Matching), and SAM (Segmentation). Now, we're looking for contributors to help us:
- Expand the Model Selection: Import decent models into our library. If you are a researcher, Kornia is an excellent place for you to promote your model!
- Model Optimization: Work on optimizing models to reduce their computational footprint while maintaining accuracy and performance. You may start from offering ONNX support!
- Model Documentation: Create detailed guides and examples to help users get the most out of these models in their projects.
Kornia's foundation lies in its extensive collection of classic computer vision operators, providing robust tools for image processing, feature extraction, and geometric transformations. We continuously seek for contributors to help us improve our documentation and present nice tutorials to our users.
If you are using kornia in your research-related documents, it is recommended that you cite the paper. See more in CITATION.
