Something I would miss as a user is interoperability. There should be ways to read from/export to numpy arrays, pytables, PIL, OpenCV, ImageMagick, basically all the mentioned and widespread libraries so far.

(Edit: There is in fact: https://github.prideout.net/snowy/reference.html#load , haven't noticed, very good!)

Understood. Maybe it helps that Snowy does not define an Image object, instead it simply operates on numpy arrays.

For Geospatial data there is the geo interface which many libraries support, I wonder if that would make sense for other disciplines as well.
