IPD - Image Processing Design Toolbox Version 8.3 Copyright (c) by Dr. Eng. (J) Harald Galda, 2009 - 2011. 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 15. Interactive Image Analysis GUI This version uses OpenCV 2.1 which is available for download at opencv.willowgarage.com/wiki/ If you intend to work with the file red-car-video.avi, please install the XVid codec which is available for download at www.xvid.org
