dask-image 0.4.0rc1

0.4.0 (2020-09-02)

We’re pleased to announce the release of dask-image 0.4.0!

Highlights

The major highlight of this release is support for cupy GPU arrays for dask-image subpackages imread and ndfilters. Cupy version 7.7.0 or higher is required to use this functionality. GPU support for the remaining dask-image subpackages (ndmorph, ndfourier, and ndmeasure) will be rolled out at a later date, beginning with ndmorph.

We also have a new function, threshold_local, similar to the scikit-image local threshold function.

Lastly, we’ve made more improvements to the user documentation, which includes work by new contributor @abhisht51.

New Features

• GPU support for ndfilters & imread modules (#151)

• threshold_local function for dask-image ndfilters (#112)

Improvements

• Add function coverage table to the dask-image docs (#155)

• Developer documentation: release guide (#142)

• Use tifffile for testing instead of scikit-image (#145)
