This PR adds a demo for `distance_transform_edt`. One illustrates computing distances from a sparse set of background points while the other illustrates computing distances on a binary object. The output...

This PR gives a further 2-4x speedup to the 2D and 3D distance transform functions by creating dedicated elementwise CUDA kernels for the pre- and post-processing steps. These include, for...

## Description We can easily preserve float16 dtype for many `cucim.skimage.filters` and `cucim.skimage.transform` functions because the underlying CuPy-based kernels already support it. This may generally be desirable, but two potential...

[BUG] `click` is listed only in test requirements but is a required in order to use `cucim.clara`

1

**Describe the bug** `click` should not be required unless the CLI `convert` tool based on it is used. **Steps/Code to reproduce bug** @drbeh reported that `pip` installing the recent PyPI...

[FEA] implement (color) bilateral filter

1

**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.** It would be good to provide a bilateral filter equivalent to the one used in `skimage.restoration.denoise_bilateral`. This version works for...

[BUG] fix isolated test failure in `test_cache_hit_miss`

2

**Describe the bug** When working on wheel builds in #619, it was observed that a single test case, `test_cache_hit_miss` would fail when running the wheel tests. Temporarily, this test case...

**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.** The current implementation of **equalize_adapthist** is much slower than the CUDA implementation of CLAHE for uint8_t or uint16_t 2D images...

[DOC] Provide examples gallery as in scikit-image

1

scikit-image provides a nice [gallery of examples](https://scikit-image.org/docs/stable/auto_examples/) (built via [sphinx-gallery](https://sphinx-gallery.github.io/stable/index.html)). It would be nice to provide a parallel version of this gallery to illustrate how the cuCIM API can also...

**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.** Implement `skimage.feature.local_binary_pattern` as used in this scikit-image example: https://scikit-image.org/docs/stable/auto_examples/features_detection/plot_local_binary_pattern.html **Describe the solution you'd like** match the API of scikit-image

**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.** It would be nice to provide the ORB (Oriented FAST and Rotateted BRIEF) feature detector. **Describe the solution you'd like**...
