    • Matlab Basics (RPI),
    • Matlab Primer (200K postscript; 25 pages).
  • Microsoft Vision SDK Library
    A library for writing image processing and computer vision programs on Microsoft Windows machines.
  • Netpbm
    A toolkit for conversion of images between a large variety of different formats. Based on the Pbmplus package. See also this web site for a list of commands and man pages, including descriptions of the image file formats pgm, pbm, pnm and ppm. Installed in /s/std/bin/ and /s/pbm/bin/
  • Vista
    The Vista image package is an X11 based library of basic image display and processing commands, and enables other programs to be written and linked with this library. It is stored locally in /p/vision/ip-tools/vista/ Man pages are in /p/vision/ip-tools/vista/man/ and executables are in /p/vision/ip-tools/vista/bin/ Add these to your MANPATH and PATH variables, respectively, to access them. See the man pages for vista(7Vi), vtutorial(7Vi), vindex(7Vi), and vlib(7Vi) for more information. Documentation manuals are also available online. See instructions for Getting Started with Vista for local information on setting things up correctly.

• Test Images
  Most test images will be put in the directory ~cs766-1/public/images/ although they may require format conversion to be used. Some other images may be put in /p/vision/images/ Numerous image databases are also accessible via the Web; for example, see the collection of test images at CMU and the Thinker ImageBase from the Fine Arts Museum of San Francisco.
