Rename Images#

The rename_images method in paidiverpy provides a way to rename image files based on a specified strategy. This feature helps standardise filenames, ensuring consistency across datasets.

Configuration#

To enable automatic renaming, set the general.rename parameter in the configuration file to one of the supported strategies.

general:
  rename: "datetime"
  image_open_args: "JPG"

The package currently supports two renaming strategies:

  1. Datetime-based (`datetime`) - Filenames are generated from the image timestamp in the format:

    YYYYMMDDTHHMMSS.sssZ

    • If duplicate filenames occur, a suffix _NUMBER is added.

  2. UUID-based (`UUID`) - Each filename is replaced with a randomly generated UUID.
