I have been trying to convert my VTK file into an STL for a long time.
Essentially, I am able to take a stack of PNG's convert it into TIF files, then stack those into a 3D numpy array and subsequently into pyvista. Now pyvista is only visualizing the file correctly using add_volume but whenever I use add_mesh or something similar, I only get a giant cube the dimensions of the 3D array.
I am unsure how to continue because I have tried to write the VTK to STL but it is of no use.
My end goal is to use the generated 3D model in unity to create a VR based model. I have explored those modalities but have found nothing so far.
If anyone has any ideas, I would appreciate it.
Apologies for the rambly post, it is my first post here

How to run python on multiple folder to create pdf?

The following code is to combine multiple images into one pdf. I am trying to run this code on multiple folder where each folder has several images as result, each folder will has one pdf.
import os
from PIL import Image
from fpdf import FPDF
pdf = FPDF()
sdir = "imageFolder/"
w,h = 0,0
for i in range(1, 100):
fname = sdir + "IMG%.3d.png" % i
if os.path.exists(fname):
if i == 1:
cover = Image.open(fname)
w,h = cover.size
pdf = FPDF(unit = "pt", format = [w,h])
image = fname
pdf.add_page()
pdf.image(image,0,0,w,h)
else:
print("File not found:", fname)
print("processed %d" % i)
pdf.output("output.pdf", "F")
print("done")
I was thinking to create another loop to bring the folder path which will come before the first loop:
For j in range(1 to 70):
folderP=sdir+folder%1
And loop in each folder
Sorry I am still learning python. Any suggestion would be great!

You can use glob to get the paths of all pdfs and add them to a list, then you just iterate through the list and you wouldn't even need to check if they exist:
from glob import glob
sDir = 'imageFolder/'
pdfPaths = []
pdfPaths.extend(glob(f'{sDir}**/*.pdf', recursive=True))
for pdf in pdfPaths:
# do stuff

bad argument type for built-in operation

Hello I am trying to read images from the specified directory and want to write the text line by line (that too i m reading from the text file specified) and saving images(text on that images) into other directory specified. But facing the following error.
Code:
import cv2
import glob
import shutil
import os
import numpy as np #for copying and moving files
font = cv2.FONT_HERSHEY_SIMPLEX
input_path = 'C:\\Users\\Kazmi-PC\\OneDrive\\Pictures\\1\\*.*'
output_path = 'C:\\Users\\Kazmi-PC\\OneDrive\\Pictures\\2\\'
file_name = 'C:\\Users\\Kazmi-PC\\OneDrive\\Pictures\\3\\code.txt'
def read_file():
if os.path.isfile(file_name):
rows = []
with open (file_name, mode='r') as file:
for line in file:
rows.append(line.strip())
return rows
else:
raise Exception('file name does not exist')
def images_1(input_path, output_path):
for im in glob.glob(input_path):
image = cv2.imread(im)
if im is None:
raise Exception ("images are not found")
else:
print("printing.....")
i= 0
for i in im:
text= read_file()
img = cv2.putText(image, text ,(100,100), font,4,
(225,225,225),cv2.LINE_AA )
cv2.imwrite(output_path + '\\_img' + str(i) + '_.jpg',
img)
images_1(input_path, output_path)
Error:
TypeError: bad argument type for built-in operation

text in cv2.putText function should be of type string, but is list in your case as read_file() returns a list named rows.
So, replace text in cv2.putText function to str(text) or ''.join(text) or '\n'.join(text), etc.
Code:
img = cv2.putText(image, str(text), (100,100), font, 4, (225,225,225), cv2.LINE_AA)

Resize multiple images in a folder (Python)

I already saw the examples suggested but some of them don't work.
So, I have this code which seems to work fine for one image:
im = Image.open('C:\\Users\\User\\Desktop\\Images\\2.jpg') # image extension *.png,*.jpg
new_width = 1200
new_height = 750
im = im.resize((new_width, new_height), Image.ANTIALIAS)
im.save('C:\\Users\\User\\Desktop\\resized.tif') # .jpg is deprecated and raise error....
How can I iterate it and resize more than one image ? Aspect ration need to be maintained.
Thank you

# Resize all images in a directory to half the size.
#
# Save on a new file with the same name but with "small_" prefix
# on high quality jpeg format.
#
# If the script is in /images/ and the files are in /images/2012-1-1-pics
# call with: python resize.py 2012-1-1-pics
import Image
import os
import sys
directory = sys.argv[1]
for file_name in os.listdir(directory):
print("Processing %s" % file_name)
image = Image.open(os.path.join(directory, file_name))
x,y = image.size
new_dimensions = (x/2, y/2) #dimension set here
output = image.resize(new_dimensions, Image.ANTIALIAS)
output_file_name = os.path.join(directory, "small_" + file_name)
output.save(output_file_name, "JPEG", quality = 95)
print("All done")
Where it says
new_dimensions = (x/2, y/2)
You can set any dimension value you want
for example, if you want 300x300, then change the code like the code line below
new_dimensions = (300, 300)

I assume that you want to iterate over images in a specific folder.
You can do this:
import os
from datetime import datetime
for image_file_name in os.listdir('C:\\Users\\User\\Desktop\\Images\\'):
if image_file_name.endswith(".tif"):
now = datetime.now().strftime('%Y%m%d-%H%M%S-%f')
im = Image.open('C:\\Users\\User\\Desktop\\Images\\'+image_file_name)
new_width = 1282
new_height = 797
im = im.resize((new_width, new_height), Image.ANTIALIAS)
im.save('C:\\Users\\User\\Desktop\\test_resize\\resized' + now + '.tif')
datetime.now() is just added to make the image names unique. It is just a hack that came to my mind first. You can do something else. This is needed in order not to override each other.

I assume that you have a list of images in some folder and you to resize all of them
from PIL import Image
import os
source_folder = 'path/to/where/your/images/are/located/'
destination_folder = 'path/to/where/you/want/to/save/your/images/after/resizing/'
directory = os.listdir(source_folder)
for item in directory:
img = Image.open(source_folder + item)
imgResize = img.resize((new_image_width, new_image_height), Image.ANTIALIAS)
imgResize.save(destination_folder + item[:-4] +'.tif', quality = 90)

Extract images from PDF without resampling, in python?

How might one extract all images from a pdf document, at native resolution and format? (Meaning extract tiff as tiff, jpeg as jpeg, etc. and without resampling). Layout is unimportant, I don't care were the source image is located on the page.
I'm using python 2.7 but can use 3.x if required.

You can use the module PyMuPDF. This outputs all images as .png files, but worked out of the box and is fast.
import fitz
doc = fitz.open("file.pdf")
for i in range(len(doc)):
for img in doc.getPageImageList(i):
xref = img[0]
pix = fitz.Pixmap(doc, xref)
if pix.n < 5: # this is GRAY or RGB
pix.writePNG("p%s-%s.png" % (i, xref))
else: # CMYK: convert to RGB first
pix1 = fitz.Pixmap(fitz.csRGB, pix)
pix1.writePNG("p%s-%s.png" % (i, xref))
pix1 = None
pix = None
see here for more resources
Here is a modified the version for fitz 1.19.6:
import os
import fitz # pip install --upgrade pip; pip install --upgrade pymupdf
from tqdm import tqdm # pip install tqdm
workdir = "your_folder"
for each_path in os.listdir(workdir):
if ".pdf" in each_path:
doc = fitz.Document((os.path.join(workdir, each_path)))
for i in tqdm(range(len(doc)), desc="pages"):
for img in tqdm(doc.get_page_images(i), desc="page_images"):
xref = img[0]
image = doc.extract_image(xref)
pix = fitz.Pixmap(doc, xref)
pix.save(os.path.join(workdir, "%s_p%s-%s.png" % (each_path[:-4], i, xref)))
print("Done!")

In Python with PyPDF2 and Pillow libraries it is simple:
PyPDF2>=2.10.0
from PyPDF2 import PdfReader
reader = PdfReader("example.pdf")
for page in reader.pages:
for image in page.images:
with open(image.name, "wb") as fp:
fp.write(image.data)
PyPDF2<2.10.0
from PIL import Image
from PyPDF2 import PdfReader
def extract_image(pdf_file_path):
reader = PdfReader(pdf_file_path)
page = reader.pages[0]
x_object = page["/Resources"]["/XObject"].getObject()
for obj in x_object:
if x_object[obj]["/Subtype"] == "/Image":
size = (x_object[obj]["/Width"], x_object[obj]["/Height"])
data = x_object[obj].getData()
if x_object[obj]["/ColorSpace"] == "/DeviceRGB":
mode = "RGB"
else:
mode = "P"
if x_object[obj]["/Filter"] == "/FlateDecode":
img = Image.frombytes(mode, size, data)
img.save(obj[1:] + ".png")
elif x_object[obj]["/Filter"] == "/DCTDecode":
img = open(obj[1:] + ".jpg", "wb")
img.write(data)
img.close()
elif x_object[obj]["/Filter"] == "/JPXDecode":
img = open(obj[1:] + ".jp2", "wb")
img.write(data)
img.close()

Often in a PDF, the image is simply stored as-is. For example, a PDF with a jpg inserted will have a range of bytes somewhere in the middle that when extracted is a valid jpg file. You can use this to very simply extract byte ranges from the PDF. I wrote about this some time ago, with sample code: Extracting JPGs from PDFs.

Libpoppler comes with a tool called "pdfimages" that does exactly this.
(On ubuntu systems it's in the poppler-utils package)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pdfimages
Windows binaries: http://blog.alivate.com.au/poppler-windows/

I prefer minecart as it is extremely easy to use. The below snippet show how to extract images from a pdf:
#pip install minecart
import minecart
pdffile = open('Invoices.pdf', 'rb')
doc = minecart.Document(pdffile)
page = doc.get_page(0) # getting a single page
#iterating through all pages
for page in doc.iter_pages():
im = page.images[0].as_pil() # requires pillow
display(im)

PikePDF can do this with very little code:
from pikepdf import Pdf, PdfImage
filename = "sample-in.pdf"
example = Pdf.open(filename)
for i, page in enumerate(example.pages):
for j, (name, raw_image) in enumerate(page.images.items()):
image = PdfImage(raw_image)
out = image.extract_to(fileprefix=f"{filename}-page{i:03}-img{j:03}")
extract_to will automatically pick the file extension based on how the image
is encoded in the PDF.
If you want, you could also print some detail about the images as they get extracted:
# Optional: print info about image
w = raw_image.stream_dict.Width
h = raw_image.stream_dict.Height
f = raw_image.stream_dict.Filter
size = raw_image.stream_dict.Length
print(f"Wrote {name} {w}x{h} {f} {size:,}B {image.colorspace} to {out}")
which can print something like
Wrote /Im1 150x150 /DCTDecode 5,952B /ICCBased to sample2.pdf-page000-img000.jpg
Wrote /Im10 32x32 /FlateDecode 36B /ICCBased to sample2.pdf-page000-img001.png
...
See the docs for
more that you can do with images, including replacing them in the PDF file.
While this usually works pretty well, note that there are a number of images that won’t be extracted this way:
Vector graphics, such as embedded SVG/PS/PDF; you can crop the original PDF, but I’m not aware of an easy way to do this programmatically
Certain monochrome images compressed inside the PDF using “CCITTFaxDecode, type G4, with the /EncodedByteAlign set to true”
Non-RGB/CMYK images, aka ProcessColorModel/DeviceN/HiFi, used for colour separations (Thanks mara004)

Here is my version from 2019 that recursively gets all images from PDF and reads them with PIL.
Compatible with Python 2/3. I also found that sometimes image in PDF may be compressed by zlib, so my code supports decompression.

Well I have been struggling with this for many weeks, many of these answers helped me through, but there was always something missing, apparently no one here has ever had problems with jbig2 encoded images.
In the bunch of PDF that I am to scan, images encoded in jbig2 are very popular.
As far as I understand there are many copy/scan machines that scan papers and transform them into PDF files full of jbig2 encoded images.
So after many days of tests decided to go for the answer proposed here by dkagedal long time ago.
Here is my step by step on linux: (if you have another OS I suggest to use a linux docker it's going to be much easier.)
First step:
apt-get install poppler-utils
Then I was able to run command line tool called pdfimages like this:
pdfimages -all myfile.pdf ./images_found/
With the above command you will be able to extract all the images contained in myfile.pdf and you will have them saved inside images_found (you have to create images_found before)
In the list you will find several types of images, png, jpg, tiff; all these are easily readable with any graphic tool.
Then you will have some files named like: -145.jb2e and -145.jb2g.
These 2 files contain ONE IMAGE encoded in jbig2 saved in 2 different files one for the header and one for the data
Again I have lost many days trying to find out how to convert those files into something readable and finally I came across this tool called jbig2dec
So first you need to install this magic tool:
apt-get install jbig2dec
then you can run:
jbig2dec -t png -145.jb2g -145.jb2e
You are going to finally be able to get all extracted images converted into something useful.
good luck!

Much easier solution:
Use the poppler-utils package. To install it use homebrew (homebrew is MacOS specific, but you can find the poppler-utils package for Widows or Linux here: https://poppler.freedesktop.org/). First line of code below installs poppler-utils using homebrew. After installation the second line (run from the command line) then extracts images from a PDF file and names them "image*". To run this program from within Python use the os or subprocess module. Third line is code using os module, beneath that is an example with subprocess (python 3.5 or later for run() function). More info here: https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/easily-extract-images-from-pdf-file/
brew install poppler
pdfimages file.pdf image
import os
os.system('pdfimages file.pdf image')
or
import subprocess
subprocess.run('pdfimages file.pdf image', shell=True)

I did this for my own program, and found that the best library to use was PyMuPDF. It lets you find out the "xref" numbers of each image on each page, and use them to extract the raw image data from the PDF.
import fitz
from PIL import Image
import io
filePath = "path/to/file.pdf"
#opens doc using PyMuPDF
doc = fitz.Document(filePath)
#loads the first page
page = doc.loadPage(0)
#[First image on page described thru a list][First attribute on image list: xref n], check PyMuPDF docs under getImageList()
xref = page.getImageList()[0][0]
#gets the image as a dict, check docs under extractImage
baseImage = doc.extractImage(xref)
#gets the raw string image data from the dictionary and wraps it in a BytesIO object before using PIL to open it
image = Image.open(io.BytesIO(baseImage['image']))
#Displays image for good measure
image.show()
Definitely check out the docs, though.

After some searching I found the following script which works really well with my PDF's. It does only tackle JPG, but it worked perfectly with my unprotected files. Also is does not require any outside libraries.
Not to take any credit, the script originates from Ned Batchelder, and not me.

After reading the posts using pyPDF2.
The error while using #sylvain's code NotImplementedError: unsupported filter /DCTDecode must come from the method .getData(): It is solved when using ._data instead, by #Alex Paramonov.
So far I have only met "DCTDecode" cases, but I am sharing the adapted code that include remarks from the different posts: From zilb by #Alex Paramonov, sub_obj['/Filter'] being a list, by #mxl.
Hope it can help the pyPDF2 users. Follow the code:

I installed ImageMagick on my server and then run commandline-calls through Popen:
#!/usr/bin/python
import sys
import os
import subprocess
import settings
IMAGE_PATH = os.path.join(settings.MEDIA_ROOT , 'pdf_input' )
def extract_images(pdf):
output = 'temp.png'
cmd = 'convert ' + os.path.join(IMAGE_PATH, pdf) + ' ' + os.path.join(IMAGE_PATH, output)
subprocess.Popen(cmd.split(), stderr=subprocess.STDOUT, stdout=subprocess.PIPE)
This will create an image for every page and store them as temp-0.png, temp-1.png ....
This is only 'extraction' if you got a pdf with only images and no text.

I added all of those together in PyPDFTK here.
My own contribution is handling of /Indexed files as such:
for obj in xObject:
if xObject[obj]['/Subtype'] == '/Image':
size = (xObject[obj]['/Width'], xObject[obj]['/Height'])
color_space = xObject[obj]['/ColorSpace']
if isinstance(color_space, pdf.generic.ArrayObject) and color_space[0] == '/Indexed':
color_space, base, hival, lookup = [v.getObject() for v in color_space] # pg 262
mode = img_modes[color_space]
if xObject[obj]['/Filter'] == '/FlateDecode':
data = xObject[obj].getData()
img = Image.frombytes(mode, size, data)
if color_space == '/Indexed':
img.putpalette(lookup.getData())
img = img.convert('RGB')
img.save("{}{:04}.png".format(filename_prefix, i))
Note that when /Indexed files are found, you can't just compare /ColorSpace to a string, because it comes as an ArrayObject. So, we have to check the array and retrieve the indexed palette (lookup in the code) and set it in the PIL Image object, otherwise it stays uninitialized (zero) and the whole image shows as black.
My first instinct was to save them as GIFs (which is an indexed format), but my tests turned out that PNGs were smaller and looked the same way.
I found those types of images when printing to PDF with Foxit Reader PDF Printer.

As of February 2019, the solution given by #sylvain (at least on my setup) does not work without a small modification: xObject[obj]['/Filter'] is not a value, but a list, thus in order to make the script work, I had to modify the format checking as follows:
import PyPDF2, traceback
from PIL import Image
input1 = PyPDF2.PdfFileReader(open(src, "rb"))
nPages = input1.getNumPages()
print nPages
for i in range(nPages) :
print i
page0 = input1.getPage(i)
try :
xObject = page0['/Resources']['/XObject'].getObject()
except : xObject = []
for obj in xObject:
if xObject[obj]['/Subtype'] == '/Image':
size = (xObject[obj]['/Width'], xObject[obj]['/Height'])
data = xObject[obj].getData()
try :
if xObject[obj]['/ColorSpace'] == '/DeviceRGB':
mode = "RGB"
elif xObject[obj]['/ColorSpace'] == '/DeviceCMYK':
mode = "CMYK"
# will cause errors when saving
else:
mode = "P"
fn = 'p%03d-%s' % (i + 1, obj[1:])
print '\t', fn
if '/FlateDecode' in xObject[obj]['/Filter'] :
img = Image.frombytes(mode, size, data)
img.save(fn + ".png")
elif '/DCTDecode' in xObject[obj]['/Filter']:
img = open(fn + ".jpg", "wb")
img.write(data)
img.close()
elif '/JPXDecode' in xObject[obj]['/Filter'] :
img = open(fn + ".jp2", "wb")
img.write(data)
img.close()
elif '/LZWDecode' in xObject[obj]['/Filter'] :
img = open(fn + ".tif", "wb")
img.write(data)
img.close()
else :
print 'Unknown format:', xObject[obj]['/Filter']
except :
traceback.print_exc()

You could use pdfimages command in Ubuntu as well.
Install poppler lib using the below commands.
sudo apt install poppler-utils
sudo apt-get install python-poppler
pdfimages file.pdf image
List of files created are, (for eg.,. there are two images in pdf)
image-000.png
image-001.png
It works ! Now you can use a subprocess.run to run this from python.

Try below code. it will extract all image from pdf.
import sys
import PyPDF2
from PIL import Image
pdf=sys.argv[1]
print(pdf)
input1 = PyPDF2.PdfFileReader(open(pdf, "rb"))
for x in range(0,input1.numPages):
xObject=input1.getPage(x)
xObject = xObject['/Resources']['/XObject'].getObject()
for obj in xObject:
if xObject[obj]['/Subtype'] == '/Image':
size = (xObject[obj]['/Width'], xObject[obj]['/Height'])
print(size)
data = xObject[obj]._data
#print(data)
print(xObject[obj]['/Filter'])
if xObject[obj]['/Filter'][0] == '/DCTDecode':
img_name=str(x)+".jpg"
print(img_name)
img = open(img_name, "wb")
img.write(data)
img.close()
print(str(x)+" is done")

I rewrite solutions as single python class.
It should be easy to work with. If you notice new "/Filter" or "/ColorSpace" then just add it to internal dictionaries.

Requirements:
Python3.6+
PyPDF2
PIL

With pypdfium2 (v4):
import pypdfium2.__main__ as pdfium_cli
pdfium_cli.api_main(["extract-images", "input.pdf", "-o", "output_dir"])
There are some options to choose between different extraction strategies (see pypdfium2 extract-images --help).
Actual non-CLI Python APIs are available as well. The CLI's implementation demonstrates them (see the docs for details):
# assuming `args` is a given options set (e. g. argparse namepsace)
import pypdfium2 as pdfium
import pypdfium2.raw as pdfium_c
pdf = pdfium.PdfDocument(args.input)
images = []
for i in args.pages:
page = pdf.get_page(i)
obj_searcher = page.get_objects(
filter = (pdfium_c.FPDF_PAGEOBJ_IMAGE, ),
max_depth = args.max_depth,
)
images += list(obj_searcher)
n_digits = len(str(len(images)))
for i, image in enumerate(images):
prefix = args.output_dir / ("%s_%0*d" % (args.input.stem, n_digits, i+1))
try:
if args.use_bitmap:
pil_image = image.get_bitmap(render=args.render).to_pil()
pil_image.save("%s.%s" % (prefix, args.format))
else:
image.extract(prefix, fb_format=args.format, fb_render=args.render)
except pdfium.PdfiumError:
traceback.print_exc()
Note: Unfortunately, PDFium's public image extraction APIs are quite limited, so PdfImage.extract() is by far not as smart as pikepdf. If you only need the image bitmap and do not intend to save the image, PdfImage.get_bitmap() should be quite fine, though.
(Disclaimer: I'm the author of pypdfium2)

Following code is updated version of PyMUPDF :
doc = fitz.open("/Users/vignesh/Downloads/ViewJournal2244.pdf")
Images_per_page={}
for i in page:
images=[]
for image_box in doc[page].get_images():
rect=doc[page].get_image_rects(image_box)
page=doc[page].get_pixmap(matrix=fitz.Identity,clip=rect[0],dpi=None,colorspace=fitz.csRGB,alpha=True, annots=True)
string=page.tobytes()
images.append(string)
Images_per_page[i]=images

This worked for me:
import PyPDF2
from PyPDF2 import PdfFileReader
# Open the PDF file
pdf_file = open(r"C:\\Users\\file.pdf", 'rb')
pdf_reader = PdfFileReader(pdf_file)
# Iterate through each page
for page_num in range(pdf_reader.numPages):
page = pdf_reader.getPage(page_num)
xObject = page['/Resources']['/XObject'].getObject()
# Iterate through each image on the page
for obj in xObject:
if xObject[obj]['/Subtype'] == '/Image':
size = (xObject[obj]['/Width'], xObject[obj]['/Height'])
data = xObject[obj].getData()
# You can now save the image data to a file
with open(f'C:\\Users\\filepath\{obj}.jpg', 'wb') as img_file:
img_file.write(data)
# Close the PDF file
pdf_file.close()

First Install pdf2image
pip install pdf2image==1.14.0
Follow the below code for extraction of pages from PDF.
file_path="file path of PDF"
info = pdfinfo_from_path(file_path, userpw=None, poppler_path=None)
maxPages = info["Pages"]
image_counter = 0
if maxPages > 10:
for page in range(1, maxPages, 10):
pages = convert_from_path(file_path, dpi=300, first_page=page,
last_page=min(page+10-1, maxPages))
for page in pages:
page.save(image_path+'/' + str(image_counter) + '.png', 'PNG')
image_counter += 1
else:
pages = convert_from_path(file_path, 300)
for i, j in enumerate(pages):
j.save(image_path+'/' + str(i) + '.png', 'PNG')
Hope it helps coders looking for easy conversion of PDF files to Images as per pages of PDF.
