Distant Viewing Toolkit: A Python Package for the Analysis of Visual Culture

The Distant TV Toolkit is a Python package designed to facilitate the computational analysis of visual culture. It contains low-level architecture for applying state-of-the-art computer vision algorithms to still and moving images. The higher-level functionality of the toolkit allows users to quickly extract semantic metadata from digitized collections. Extracted information can be visualized for search and discovery as well as aggregated and analyzed to find patterns across a corpus.
