[IPOL discuss] G'MICOL : G'MIC Online

[Miguel Colom]

Hi David,
I've looked at it and it seems really awesome.
It's fast and the ability to show the results in the web in real time  
is really nice.

Looking at the source code, I think that you really need to document  
it more. Using more simple comments around the code and it'd be really  
recommendable to start using some automatic tool like Doxygen, for  
example. The sooner you do it, the better.

The goals of G'MIC and IPOL are related, but I think that are  
different. IPOL needs to have not only a working algorithm, but mainly  
a very detailed mathematical description of the algorithms.

However, I think that both projects may benefit each other. You can  
find detailed peer-reviewed descriptions of the algorithms and the  
implementations from IPOL (that means that they're supposed to be  
absolutely correct and efficient) and IPOL can benefit from increasing  
its visibility being its algorithms used in another software that  
cites the corresponding articles.

Good luck with G'MIC!
Miguel
