Project mention: Replacing Only the Background of an Image with AI Generation Using the Stable Diffusion Web API | dev.to | 2024-11-08
Another approach for background removal is to use rembg. This method requires only one API call, making it more cost-effective, though it may result in differences in extraction accuracy.

Project mention: Release Radar · October 2024: Major updates from the open source community | dev.to | 2024-11-01
One problem when it comes to images and coding, is computer programs don't read images in the same way as code (ie. text). Instead, images need to be converted or interpreted. That's where Pillow comes in. It's an image processing library for Python interpreters, with extensive file support. The latest update drops support for EOL Python 3.8, now only supporting Python 3.12 or later. The Pillow C API is now faster, resulting in the removal of PyAccess, and only using PyPy. There's also support for WebP 0.5 as a minimum and internal PSFile class has been removed. Check out all the changes in the Pillow release notes.

-
google-images-download
Python Script to download hundreds of images from 'Google Images'. It is a ready-to-run code!
-
deeplake
Database for AI. Store Vectors, Images, Texts, Videos, etc. Use with LLMs/LangChain. Store, query, version, & visualize any AI data. Stream data in real-time to PyTorch/TensorFlow. https://activeloop.ai
Finally, we stored these vectors in our chosen database: the activeloop DeepLake database. This database is open source, something near and dear to our own open-source hearts. We will cover some additional details in a further section, but it is specifically designed to handle vector data and perform efficient similarity searches, which is crucial for quick and accurate retrieval during the RAG process.

thought the same thing and wrote this: https://blog.mixpeek.com/dynamic-video-chunking-scene-detect...
which uses https://github.com/Breakthrough/PySceneDetect
under the hood i'm sure it's the same ffmpeg method ;)
