Introduction
The Camellia Library is an open source Image Processing & Computer
Vision library. Written in plain C, it is cross-platform (Unix / Linux,
Windows) and robust. It already includes a lot of functions for image
processing (filtering, morphological mathematics, labelling, warping, drawing,
project/backproject, color conversion, loading/saving images, etc.), most of
them being highly speed-optimized. It is also doxygen-documented and examples
of use are provided.
As it uses the CamImage/IplImage structure to describe images, it is a
good replacement to the popular but discontinued Intel IPL library and
a good complement to the OpenCV library.
This open source software library is an outcome of the Camellia european
project (IST-2001-34410). It was developped by the Ecole des Mines de Paris (ENSMP),
in coordination with the other partners of the projects (Philips Electronics
Nerderland,
Main features :
- Fully
interoperable with OpenCV, though easier to use.
- Object-oriented
interface when using C++.
- Full
interface to Ruby, a nice scripting language,
including garbage collection and exception support. Compatible with FXRuby, a nice GUI toolkit based on
FOX.
- Support
for 1-bit and 8-bits to 16-bits depth images.
- Support
for in-place processing, Region of Interest (ROI) and bit masking in most
functions.
- Exclusive
RLE (Run-Length Encoded) image processing algorithms, for faster than
light image processing.
- Exclusive
algorithms, including Hierarchical Watershed and 3DRS Motion Estimation.
- Exclusive
optimisations, especially for morphological operations.
- Can
be easily compiled on any 32-bits or 64-bits platform with any ANSI C
compiler.
