General software features

4 libraries are proposed:

  • Common: multi-dimensional arrays with shared memory for fast copy, static size vector and matrices.
  • LinAlg: linear algebra with dynamic size vectors and matrices, solution of linear systems, matrix decompositions (SVD, QR, Cholesky).
  • Graphics: windows with tabs, 2D graphics (elementary shapes, bitmaps) and 3D graphics (elementary volumes, triangulated meshes), animations, mouse and keyboard events.
  • Images: input/output in standard formats, geometric transformations, interpolation, standard filters.
Context in which the software is used

The focus is put on easy usage and efficiency. Display relies on Qt and OpenGL, linear algebra on Eigen.

  • Teaching programming: allows writing easily recreational software, with protection from classical errors that are critical for performance by using shallow copy for images and matrices.
  • Research in image processing and computer vision: additional modules for optimization, multi-view geometry and interest point dectection are used internally.
