ImLab Description

A free open source graphical application for Scientific Image Processing that runs in Windows, Linux

It supports multiple windows, data types including 32 bit integers, 32 bit real numbers and complex numbers. It is implemented in C++ and also in C to provide a very simple way to add new functions. It has many image operations and supports several file formats.
Overview

This program has been created to serve as a laboratory to implement routines of image processing. ImLab was build using IUP (interface), CD (drawing) and IM (imaging) libraries. It runs in Windows, Linux, SGI IRIX, SunOS, IBM AIX and MacOS X (using X-Windows).

The Tecgraf libraries and ImLab are free for academic and commercial use. See the copyright note of ImLab.

Its interface is very simple that means it still does not have direct image manipulation. However, it can be extended for that purpose.

It does not have a generic plug-in extension mechanism, but creating new functions in the "Process" menu is quite simple and very similar to a plug-in.

ImLab is implemented in C and C++, but aiming simplicity I did not use complex classes to model images and other objects, so the code looks like an extended C. I do use some C++ templates to implement processing routines for the available data types, the code is rather simple to understand, even for those who do not know this mechanism.

In several situations ImLab can be the ideal program to develop new Image Processing algorithms, articles, thesis and dissertations. If you are interested in using ImLab download the source code and/or the executable. If you find it useful and would like to contribute, forward your work in ImLab to me and I will include it in the next distribution. And I hope to be able to help so as to make this feasible.

Support is provided whenever I can, usually during my free time and weekends. I recomend using the mailing list, you do not have to subscribe to send a message and mail is moderated, so to subscribe is a good idea so you can receive update notifications. This is a very low traffic list. The list is hosted in a SourceForge List.

See some screen captures of the program in Screenshots.

See the list of ImLab Features. Most of them are inherited from the IM library.

Some algorithm implementation was derived from XITE, here is their respective copyright.
Origins

My first important Image Processing System was SPID in 1993/1994. It was developed using Borland C++ 4 in the Win32s subsystem (hard times). Borland changed the OWL library and the code became un reusable. So I give up and started to plan for a new version with other tools. But the opportunity never came, so I decided to start a small system to help me implement and test some routines.

ImLab was conceived during the course "Image Processing for Computer Graphics" that I did in 1997.

It was updated for the course "Processamento Digital de Imagens" that I present in 2002. At the time the code was highly rearranged to facilitate understanding. I also generated a page for the program and executables for several platforms.

In 2004, almost all the image processing code was moved to the IM toolkit, building a major release version of that library, with also several improvements for both IM and ImLab.

Since then it is being periodically updated and improved. Check the list of changes in History. Also there is a list of To Do's. What still makes ImLab an "experimental" system is marked in color.
