Image related software |
| Open Source Computer Vision Library | Aid commercial uses of computer vision in human-computer interface, robotics, monitoring, biometrics and security by providing a free and open infrastructure where the distributed efforts of the vision community can be consolidated and performance optimized. This library was formerly known as the Intel Image Library (IPL). An interface class for converting between Intel IPL and IPL98 is available! | |
| Image Magick | A robust collection of tools and libraries to read, write,
and manipulate an image in any of the more popular image formats including GIF, JPEG, PNG, PDF, and Photo CD. All the facilities are available as C++ classes and should be possible to combine with IPL98. A namespace "Magick" is used so nameclashes are not expected. | |
| VXL | VXL (the Vision-something-Libraries) is a collection of C++ libraries designed for computer vision research. It was created from TargetJr and the Image Understanding Environment (IUE) with the aim of making a lighter, faster and more consistent system. VXL is written in ANSI/ISO C++ and is designed to be portable over many platforms. | |
| The Microsoft Vision SDK | A template based image manipulation library written in C++ and Visual MFC. | |
| Cppima | Image processing library written in C++. | |
| SAL - Computer Graphics | Links to image libraries and other stuff. |

| C++ Annotations | A very comprehensive introduction to C++ with lots of examples, covers all aspects of the C++ language and the standard library. You need to know C! | |
| STL Tutorial and Reference Guide | A relatively complete printed source, with many example
programs, written by David R. Musser and Atul Saini, Addison-Wesley, Reading,
MA, 1996. In connection with the book, see also the Source Code Resources (accessible from the book's web page) and Errata List. | |

C++ general libraries |
| IML++ | IML++ (Iterative Methods Library) is a C++ templated library of modern iterative methods for solving both symmetric and nonsymmetric linear systems of equations. | |
| SparseLib++ | A C++ class library for efficient sparse matrix computations across various computational platforms | |
| LEDA | LEDA (Library of Efficient Datatypes and Algorithms) is a library of the data types and algorithms of combinatorial computing. | |
| CGAL | CGAL is a Computational Geometry Algorithms Library written in C++ | |
| MTL | The Matrix Template Library (MTL) is a high-performance generic component library that provides comprehensive linear algebra functionality for a wide variety of matrix formats. | |
| LAPACK | Linear Algebra PACKage provides routines for solving systems of simultaneous linear equations, least-squares solutions of linear systems of equations, eigenvalue problems, and singular value problems. | |
| Blitz++ | Blitz++ is a C++ class library for scientific computing. At the moment of writing this (Blitz++ version 0.5beta3) the library does not compile with MS Visual C++ and the Borland C++ compiler because of limitations in the template area for these compilers. | |
| YACL | YACL (Yet Another Class Library) is a C++ class library that offers high-level abstractions for common programming problems. |
Miscellaneous |
| ImageMagick | A package for display and interactive manipulation of
images for the X Window System. It is written in C and interfaces to the X library, and therefore does not require any proprietary toolkit in order to compile. ImageMagick is known to compile and run on virtually any Unix. system and Linux. It also runs under Windows NT, Windows 95, Macintosh, and VMS. | |
| DOXYGEN | The C/C++ code documentation parser used for documenting IPL98 since version 1.50. It follows the JavaDoc documentation style and is well supported. It generates both LaTeX output for high quality hardcopies and HTML output for sophisticated online browsing of your documentation. | |
| DOC++ | DOC++ is a documentation system for C/C++ and Java. It was used for code documentation of IPL98 until version 1.50 where we migrated to the DOXYGEN parser (see above). | |
| PERCEPS | Another C++ documentation program. | |
