A standalone desktop application for easy texture extraction & deskewing from images.

Overview

Textract allows you to load images, mark sections to extract (such as signage, product labels, or building), apply a perspective warp and pack the flattened output into custom texture atlas or export them individually.

Key Features

• Dual-Pane Interactive Workspace:
  • Mark Canvas (Left): Load source images and mark sections to extract.
  • Atlas Canvas (Right): Arrange extracted textures into an atlas or to export individually.
• Perspective Correction: - Extremely fast using imageproc and rayon for parallelism.
• Grid Snapping - With custom grid sizes.
• Atlas Export: Arrange your textures into a single atlas for export.
• Individual Export: Export textures individually.
• Auto Updater: Simple one-click updater to get the latest features and fixes.
