scikit-image 0.24.0 (2024-06-18)

We’re happy to announce the release of scikit-image 0.24.0!

Highlights

• Add new class skimage.transform.ThinPlateSplineTransform, which can estimate and model non-linear transforms with thin-plate splines and allows image warping with skimage.transform.warp (#7040).

New Features

• Add new class skimage.transform.ThinPlateSplineTransform, which can estimate and model non-linear transforms with thin-plate splines and allows image warping with skimage.transform.warp (#7040).

• Add skimage.morphology.remove_objects_by_distance, which removes labeled objects, ordered by size (default), until the remaining objects are a given distance apart (#4165).

Performance

• In skimage.feature.corner_fast, test four directions earlier, which should more than half the computation time for most cases (#7394).

Documentation

• Remove obsolete instruction about documenting changes (#7321).

• Clarify description of data_range parameter in skimage.metrics.structural_similarity (#7345).

• Update release process notes (#7402).

• Fix typo in docstring of skimage.measure.regionprops (#7405).

• Fix typos in skimage.measure.find_contours (#7411).

• Add algorithmic complexity description + suggested alternatives to skimage.restoration.rolling_ball docstring (#7424).

• Remove ineffective PR contribution clause (#7429).

• Clarify objection period for lazy consensus in SKIP 1 (#7020).

• Add a new gallery example “Use thin-plate splines for image warping” (#7040).

• Add a new gallery example on “Removing objects” based on their size or distance (#4165).

Infrastructure

• Escape user-controlled variables in GA workflow (#7415).

• Add generation of GitHub artifact attestations to built sdist and wheels before upload to PyPI (#7427).

• For publishing actions use the full length commit SHA (#7433).

• Be mindful of resources by canceling in-progress workflows (#7436).

• Add out-of-tree Pyodide builds in CI for scikit-image (#7350).

Maintenance

• Replace deprecated nose style setup/teardown with autouse fixtures (#7343).

• Temporarily pin macos-12 runner in CI (#7408).

• Fix NumPy2 dtype promotion issues in pywt dependent code (#7414).

• In skimage.util.compare_images, deprecate the parameter image2. Instead use image0, image1 to pass the compared images. Furthermore, all other parameters will be turned into keyword-only parameters once the deprecation is complete (#7322).

• Add support back for Python 3.9 to enhance compatibility with Numpy 2 (#7412).

• Disable ruff/pyupgrade rule UP038 (#7430).

• Stop verifying wheel attestations temporarily (#7444).
