At the moment it is mainly composed of a C++ library: <a class="twikiLink" href="http://www.lrde.epita.fr/cgi-bin/twiki/view/Olena/Milena">Milena</a>. This library features many tools to easily perform image processing tasks. Its main characteristic is its genericity: it allows to write an algorithm once and run it over many kinds of images (grey scale, color, 1D, 2D, 3D…).

I feel like every week I see a new place where someone was not satisfied by existing image processing libraries and decide to write their own. And this doesn't even ensure that we will eventually get a good one, because they always try to solve a different set of problems. Today, I found "population", which defines itself as "[...] an open-source imaging library in C++ for processing, analysing, modelling and visualising including more than 200 algorithms designed by V. Tariel under the CeCill licence. -> <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://population.shinoe.org/">http://population.shinoe.org/</a> «Why a new library Since the emergence of applications of the image data-structure, many libraries dedicated to image processing/analysis have be distributed freely ImageJ, OpenCV, Olena, VTK or commercially, ADCIS, Matlab [3]. In my knowledge, no one respects all these criteria : * ad vitam æternam : now and in the future, it is and it will be easy to install the software in any platforms. Therefore, the code source should be written in a standard language and should restrict the utilization of external libraries, * user-friendly : it is easy to design your own algorithm. Therefore, the library should have a good technical documentation, as nice example [4] and the data-structures should be mapped into classes, * optimized : the algorithms can be applied on large data set as 3d image. Therefore, following generic programming paradigm, the procedures should beparametrized to do most of the work at compile time and, therefore, to save time at execution time, * modularity : an algorithm is built on elementary bricks. Therefore, a algorithm taxonomy should be done for the definition of the elementary bricks, * mathematical equivalence : we have a mathematical equivalence between the algorithm definition and the algorithm implementation. In other words, an algorithm can be applied on a class of data-structure having some fundamental properties allowing the process of versatile data-structures with a single procedure (whatever the data-structures with some properties, I can operate that. To fulfil all criteria, I design my home-made library on C++ language, called Population.» The author, Vincent Tariel, is PhD student at Polytechnique. So close to Cachan, it could be good to meet him to know more. </pre> <pre wrap=""> <fieldset class="mimeAttachmentHeader"></fieldset> _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:discuss@list.ipol.im">discuss@list.ipol.im</a> <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://tools.ipol.im/mailman/listinfo/discuss">http://tools.ipol.im/mailman/listinfo/discuss</a></pre> </blockquote> </body> </html>
