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 <https://github.com/scikit-image/scikit-image/pull/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 <https://github.com/scikit-image/scikit-image/pull/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 <https://github.com/scikit-image/scikit-image/pull/4165>_).

Performance

• In skimage.feature.corner_fast, test four directions earlier, which should more than half the computation time for most cases (#7394 <https://github.com/scikit-image/scikit-image/pull/7394>_).

Documentation

• Remove obsolete instruction about documenting changes (#7321 <https://github.com/scikit-image/scikit-image/pull/7321>_).
• Clarify description of data_range parameter in skimage.metrics.structural_similarity (#7345 <https://github.com/scikit-image/scikit-image/pull/7345>_).
• Update release process notes (#7402 <https://github.com/scikit-image/scikit-image/pull/7402>_).
• Fix typo in docstring of skimage.measure.regionprops (#7405 <https://github.com/scikit-image/scikit-image/pull/7405>_).
• Fix typos in skimage.measure.find_contours (#7411 <https://github.com/scikit-image/scikit-image/pull/7411>_).
• Add algorithmic complexity description + suggested alternatives to skimage.restoration.rolling_ball docstring (#7424 <https://github.com/scikit-image/scikit-image/pull/7424>_).
• Remove ineffective PR contribution clause (#7429 <https://github.com/scikit-image/scikit-image/pull/7429>_).
• Clarify objection period for lazy consensus in SKIP 1 (#7020 <https://github.com/scikit-image/scikit-image/pull/7020>_).
• Add a new gallery example "Use thin-plate splines for image warping" (#7040 <https://github.com/scikit-image/scikit-image/pull/7040>_).
• Add a new gallery example on "Removing objects" based on their size or distance (#4165 <https://github.com/scikit-image/scikit-image/pull/4165>_).

Infrastructure

• Escape user-controlled variables in GA workflow (#7415 <https://github.com/scikit-image/scikit-image/pull/7415>_).
• Add generation of GitHub artifact attestations to built sdist and wheels before upload to PyPI (#7427 <https://github.com/scikit-image/scikit-image/pull/7427>_).
• For publishing actions use the full length commit SHA (#7433 <https://github.com/scikit-image/scikit-image/pull/7433>_).
• Be mindful of resources by canceling in-progress workflows (#7436 <https://github.com/scikit-image/scikit-image/pull/7436>_).
• Add out-of-tree Pyodide builds in CI for scikit-image (#7350 <https://github.com/scikit-image/scikit-image/pull/7350>_).

Maintenance

• Replace deprecated nose style setup/teardown with autouse fixtures (#7343 <https://github.com/scikit-image/scikit-image/pull/7343>_).
• Temporarily pin macos-12 runner in CI (#7408 <https://github.com/scikit-image/scikit-image/pull/7408>_).
• Fix NumPy2 dtype promotion issues in pywt dependent code (#7414 <https://github.com/scikit-image/scikit-image/pull/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 <https://github.com/scikit-image/scikit-image/pull/7322>_).
• Add support back for Python 3.9 to enhance compatibility with Numpy 2 (#7412 <https://github.com/scikit-image/scikit-image/pull/7412>_).
• Disable ruff/pyupgrade rule UP038 (#7430 <https://github.com/scikit-image/scikit-image/pull/7430>_).
• Stop verifying wheel attestations temporarily (#7444 <https://github.com/scikit-image/scikit-image/pull/7444>_).
