IPD - Image Processing Design Toolbox Version 6.1 Copyright (c) by Dr. Eng. (J) Harald Galda, 2009 - 2010. Conveyed under the conditions of the GNU GPL Version 3 or later. This toolbox provides functions for designing and parameterizing image processing algorithms. The following functionality is provided: 1. Histogram calculation - gray level histogram - cumulated histogram 2. Thresholding - segmentation by threshold - threshold calculation by Otsu method 3. Morphological filters - dilation - erosion - closing - opening - top hat - bottom hat 4. Median filter 5. Filtering for edge detection - Sobel filter - Laplace filter - Prewitt filter - Scharr filter 6. Region based segmentation - distance transform - watershed transform 7. Blob analysis - searching connected regions in binary images - removing blobs that have less pixels than a lower bound or more pixels than an upper bound - calculating specific properties of blobs such as bounding box, centroid - drawing bounding boxes around objects found in an image - calculating histogram of blob sizes - calculating cumulated histogram of blob sizes 8. Displaying images in figure windows - display - conversion of RGB to indexed images - conversion of indexed images to RGB 9. Conversion between color images and gray level images - RGB to gray level - RGB to L*a*b* - L*a*b* to RGB 10. Opening image and video files - reading image files - writing image files - reading video files 11. Linear filteration 12. Variance filter 13. Texture feature calculation - Laws texture energy - discrete Wavelet frames 14. Template Matching Change between versions 6.1 and 6.0 - IPD.start modified so online help is loaded even if toolbox was installed using atomsInstall() - Expamples in online help are modified so version is not hard coded anymore This version uses OpenCV 2.0 which is available for download at opencv.willowgarage.com/wiki/ It is recommended to choose Atlas library option when installing Scilab. IPD can not be loaded if the reference library option was chosen during Scilab installation. The author of this toolbox does not use Intel Math Kernel Library.
