Colour - Checker Detection

A Python package implementing various colour checker detection algorithms and related utilities.

It is open source and freely available under the BSD-3-Clause terms.

Features

The following colour checker detection algorithms are implemented:

• Segmentation
• Machine learning inference via Ultralytics YOLOv8
  • The model is published on HuggingFace, and was trained on a purposely constructed dataset.
  • The model has only been trained on ColorChecker Classic 24 images and will not work with ColorChecker Nano or ColorChecker SG images.
  • Inference is performed by a script licensed under the terms of the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 as it uses the Ultralytics YOLOv8 API which is incompatible with the BSD-3-Clause.

Examples

Various usage examples are available from the examples directory.
