Kornia is a differentiable computer vision library that provides a rich set of differentiable image processing and geometric vision algorithms. Built on top of PyTorch, Kornia integrates seamlessly into existing AI workflows, allowing you to leverage powerful batch transformations, auto-differentiation and GPU acceleration. Whether you’re working on image transformations, augmentations, or AI-driven image processing, Kornia equips you with the tools you need to bring your ideas to life.

Key Components

  1. Differentiable Image Processing
    Kornia provides a comprehensive suite of image processing operators, all differentiable and ready to integrate into deep learning pipelines.
    • Filters: Gaussian, Sobel, Median, Box Blur, etc.
    • Transformations: Affine, Homography, Perspective, etc.
    • Enhancements: Histogram Equalization, CLAHE, Gamma Correction, etc.
    • Edge Detection: Canny, Laplacian, Sobel, etc.
    • ... check our docs for more.
  2. Advanced Augmentations
    Perform powerful data augmentation with Kornia’s built-in functions, ideal for training AI models with complex augmentation pipelines.
    • Augmentation Pipeline: AugmentationSequential, PatchSequential, VideoSequential, etc.
    • Automatic Augmentation: AutoAugment, RandAugment, TrivialAugment.
  3. AI Models
    Leverage pre-trained AI models optimized for a variety of vision tasks, all within the Kornia ecosystem.
    • Face Detection: YuNet
    • Feature Matching: LoFTR, LightGlue
    • Feature Descriptor: DISK, DeDoDe, SOLD2
    • Segmentation: SAM
    • Classification: MobileViT, VisionTransformer.

Quick Start

Kornia is not just another computer vision library — it's your gateway to effortless Computer Vision and AI.

Get started with Kornia image transformation and augmentation!
import numpy as np
import kornia_rs as kr

from kornia.augmentation import AugmentationSequential, RandomAffine, RandomBrightness
from kornia.filters import StableDiffusionDissolving

# Load and prepare your image
img: np.ndarray = kr.read_image_any("img.jpeg")
img = kr.resize(img, (256, 256), interpolation="bilinear")

# alternatively, load image with PIL
# img = Image.open("img.jpeg").resize((256, 256))
# img = np.array(img)

img = np.stack([img] * 2)  # batch images

# Define an augmentation pipeline
augmentation_pipeline = AugmentationSequential(
    RandomAffine((-45., 45.), p=1.),
    RandomBrightness((0.,1.), p=1.)
)

# Leveraging StableDiffusion models
dslv_op = StableDiffusionDissolving()

img = augmentation_pipeline(img)
dslv_op(img, step_number=500)

dslv_op.save("Kornia-enhanced.jpg")
Find out Kornia ONNX models with ONNXSequential!
import numpy as np
from kornia.onnx import ONNXSequential
# Chain ONNX models from HuggingFace repo and your own local model together
onnx_seq = ONNXSequential(
    "hf://operators/kornia.geometry.transform.flips.Hflip",
    "hf://models/kornia.models.detection.rtdetr_r18vd_640x640",  # Or you may use "YOUR_OWN_MODEL.onnx"
)
# Prepare some input data
input_data = np.random.randn(1, 3, 384, 512).astype(np.float32)
# Perform inference
outputs = onnx_seq(input_data)
# Print the model outputs
print(outputs)

# Export a new ONNX model that chains up all three models together!
onnx_seq.export("chained_model.onnx")

Call For Contributors

Are you passionate about computer vision, AI, and open-source development? Join us in shaping the future of Kornia! 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.

Accessible AI Models

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.

Documentation And Tutorial Optimization

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.
