Re: [gentoo-science] Advice for image and signal processing libraries

[Redouane Boumghar]

Hello everyone,

Thanks you all for your pieces of advice.
I tried to compile everything and I'll that here as it may sum up your replies.
Among all your suggestions few retained my attention for my application :
- GSL The Gnu Scientific Library (GPL)
  Up to date and providing all the signal processings I may need (Fourier and Wavelet transforms).
- VIGRA (and not vi-a-gra as I read the first time haha) Vision with Generic Algorithms
  providing Fourier Transform but no Wavelet analysis. MIT Licence GPL compatible.

Other interesting things, knowing that I am more interested in processing than visualizing :
- iipp : Intel(R) Integrated performance primitives with fourier and wavelet transform
         The licence matters for me, as I'd be glad to contribute to a free-software project.
- FreeMat : Yet another Matlab Clone (octave, Scilab), to keep the rights of choice :)
- VSIPL++ : it's missing wavelet transforms
- itpp : FFT and Fast ICA are interesting in this one no wavelet transformation available.


Others off-topic for my application or slaveryware (as Chris said hehe) :
IDL,
FSL (Brain images oriented),
ITK (maybe too poor signal processing),
VTK (visualization oriented, nonetheless with FFT),
Paraview and OpenDX (visu oriented),
JMicroVision (I need a library not a software even if the source are available I have to be fast in programming, thanks for the hint anyway),
R Library (no info about it... I was too bad with internet searches)

Thanks you all for your hints.

I guess I am gonna give a try to the GSL and to some matlab like scripts and certainly to ImageJ
with many java plugins available on the net.

Have a nice day, night,
