Insight Toolkit

Insight Segmentation and Registration Toolkit (ITK) is an open-source software system to support the Visible Human Project. Currently under active development, ITK employs leading-edge segmentation and registration algorithms in two, three, and more dimensions.

Netpbm

Netpbm is a toolkit for manipulation of graphic images, including conversion of images between a variety of different formats. There are over 300 separate tools in the package including converters for about 100 graphics formats.

OTB

ORFEO Toolbox (OTB) is distributed as an open source library of image processing algorithms. OTB is based on the medical image processing library ITK and offers particular functionalities for remote sensing image processing in general and for high spatial resolution images in particular. OTB is ... [More] distributed under a free software licence CeCILL (similar to GPL) to encourage contribution from users and to promote reproducible research. The library is intensively tested on several platforms as Linux, Unix and Windows. Most functionnalies are also adapted to process huge images using streaming and multithreading as often as possible.

VIPS

The VIPS library/image processing system is well suited for larger than RAM true and false-colour images. VIPS can be used for image format conversion, colour calibration, image filtering, transformation and analysis, thumbnail generation, small object recognition and many other image processing ... [More] tasks. VIPS is well suited for medical and scientific research & development and batch image processing. It is not so good for retouching photographs. The system has two main parts: libvips is the library, and nip2 is the GUI. Both execute common image processing tasks faster than other image processing systems because of sophisticated memory/task management and multicore compatibility. VIPS runs in batch (command line) mode on *nix, Windows, Mac and other OSes. [Less]

NIP2

nip2, the "free love child of Photoshop and Excel," is the GUI of vips. You don't directly edit images --- instead, like a spreadsheet, you build relationships between objects. nip2 actively manages these relationships: if you change an object property, the change is propagated ... [More] "spreadsheet-style." Like vips, nip2 is fast and needs little memory. You can comfortably work with multi-gigabyte images on very modest hardware. In addition to the visual programming interface accessible through the GUI, nip2 has command-line and batch modes. It even has its own functional programming language (for writing extensions).

OTB Applications

This package includes a set of applications for remote sensing image processing such as orthorectification, classification, object extraction... Few of these applications come with a full GUI interface. Applications are based on the Orfeo Toolbox (OTB) library. More complex applications are now ... [More] developed in the integrated application: Monteverdi. OTB Applications is distributed under a free software licence CeCILL (similar to GPL) to encourage contribution from users and to promote reproducible research. [Less]

Olena

Olena is a platform dedicated to image processing and pattern recognition. Its core component is a generic and efficient C++ library, Milena. Milena provides a framework to implement simple, fast, safe, reusable and extensible image processing tool chains. The library provides many ready-to-use ... [More] algorithms and image data structures. Algorithms are built upon classical entities from the image processing field. This design allows developers and practitioners to easily understand, modify, develop and extend new algorithms while retaining the core traits of Milena: genericity and efficiency. The Olena platform also features additional modules such as Swilena, a component exposing Milena to other languages thanks to SWIG, and the SCRIBO module for Document Image Analysis. [Less]

libpipi

Libpipi is a graphics and imaging library.

Opticks

claimed by OSGeo - The Open Source Geospatial Foundation

Opticks is a software framework that enables video and image processing. It allows users to load numerous types of video and image file formats, geo-reference image data, display and playback video and images, build algorithms to process images and video, and save the results as new images and ... [More] video. Additionally, the Opticks public API allows software engineers to develop and add new software plug-ins, thereby expanding and customizing the Opticks functionality. [Less]

ngi

NGI is a generic image processing and image analysis library. Let us dissect the important terms of this definition. Image processing is the global name for programming techniques that deal with images on input and recreate other images on output. Image analysis goes a step further in that ... [More] it tries to extract meaning from an image. Usually the output of an image analysis algorithm is not another image, but some different data, such as the number of objects in an image. Library is the term for a piece of code that's available in the form of a toolbox. Software pieces to be assembled by a programmer to fulfill a task. The NGI library is a C++ library available in source code. Generic is the opposite of specific. Read more at http://code.google.com/p/ngi/ [Less]
