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

15. Interactive Image Analysis GUI      

This version uses OpenCV 2.1 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.

If you intend to work with the file red-car-video.avi, please install the XVid
codec which is available for download at

Hello,

A ticket for embedding an improved version of ShowImage()
has been posted here: http://forge.scilab.org/index.php/p/IPD/issues/354/
with the macro attached. It mainly allows to plot several images in the 
same figure window, through subplot() and the building of a shared colormap.

Enjoy!

Another ticket has been opened here
http://forge.scilab.org/index.php/p/IPD/issues/355/
for posting an improved release of the WaveletFrames demo,
getting full advantage of the new ShowImage() posted in ticket 354.

See the ticket for details, and enjoy.
May be some other IPD demos could also be updated in the same way.

Regards
Samuel

Actually I do not like the idea of a shared color map all that much. When an image is 
processed the work flow is often like this:

RGB image -> gray level image -> filtered gray level image -> thresholded image -> object 
image (with a lot of objects) -> processed object image (with few objects).

It is desirable to visualize all steps of this work flow so images of different types (RGB,

gray level, black-white, pseudo color image) should be displayed. 

If all images to be displayed share a color map, this color map must be expanded for each 
image. Another possibility is creating one color map for all images before displaying them

and updating the gray levels to the indices of the new color map. 

The function addcolor does not add an entry already present in the color map. This makes 
index calculation very  messy because each entry of the original sub image color map must 
be searched in the new figure color map.

ShowColorImage constructs a color map that has as many rows as the image has pixels. This 
is a matrix with hundreds of thousands of rows even for comparatively small images. It 
costs a lot of time to set the color map of a figure to that matrix. Expanding this matrix

costs a lot of time, too.

In my opinion, displaying several images in one figure makes sense only if there is a fast

method for color map expansion or if each axis can have a separate color map.

Dear Galda,

Did IPD open and read image from webcam directly?

Duke,

Dear Lee Duke,

there is no function in IPD that reads images from a web cam directly.

Dears,

How is possible to install IPD 8 in Scilab 5.3.1 (Linux version)? I've tried to use
functions like im2gray but even not in SIVP. So, I'd like to know how to install this
using ATOM.

-->atomsInstall('IPD')
	IPD (8.0-1) will be installed in the 'user' section
	Installing IPD (8.0-1) ...atomsDownload: The following file hasn't been downloaded:
	 - URL            :
'http://atoms.scilab.org/toolboxes/IPD/8.0/files/IPD_8.0-1.bin.i686.linux.tar.gz'
	 - Local location :
'/home/sander/.Scilab/scilab-5.3.1/atoms/IPD/IPD_8.0-1.bin.i686.linux.tar.gz'
 !--error 10000 

at line     200 of function atomsDownload called by :  
at line     307 of function atomsInstall called by :  
atomsInstall('IPD')
 
 
I tried to install 7.0, but I didn't get it. I downloaded in atoms directory so I don't
know what to do then.

So, thank you very much.

Thanks.
