Internal C/C++ libraries

The two section below exist in order to be able to differentiate between libraries that can easily be used amongst different projects and those being mainly research specific. The second list should contain libraries that are PhD project specific and should be modified only (!) after consulting the owner! This does not mean that you are generally discouraged to use the libraries from the second list but only that they are not necessarily written in a way to make them easily usable for everybody and that their usage may be non-trivial.

General Use C/C++ libraries

Library name	Description	Library Type	Note
Colibri	A 2D and 3D image processing library Supports floating point (32bit) images only. Offers functions for basic image arithmetic (+/-,etc.), functions for image pyramids, image rescaling, image filtering and more. Automatically makes use of IPP (when installed, should work on both, 32bit and 64bit systems).	static library
DeMoLib	Library for image deformation models It currently contains classes for Free Form Deformations (FFDs) and Thin-plate Splines (TPS). The library is build on top of Colibri and NuDeLib.	static library
IOLib	Library for reading and writing images It wraps the IO mechanism of ITK into simple function calls and is build as a dynamic library to save users from the burden of linking against the whole ITK family of functions. The library best inter-operates with Colibri images but offers also support for raw image IO.	dynamic library
Slib	Methods for higher-level image processing (builds ontop of Colibri) and segmentation. Current segmentation methods include e.g. threshold-based and graph-cut based methods. Image processing methods include e.g. histogram equaliazation, or line-enhancement filters. SLib also provides RGB operations.	static library
NuDeLib	Numerics and Decomposition Library supports dynamic and fixed size matrices and vectors, a variety of decomposition/solver algorithms, and many geometric routines (like conversion routines for rotations and projections). The library offers an adapted interface for Eigen and is fully compatible (each Nude::Matrix behaves like an Eigen::Matrix).	static library	http://eigen.tuxfamily.org/index.php
Aleph	Currently, contains algorithms for Numerical Optimization, Splines and Gauss Legendre integration.	static library
tcpmessenger	Library to do TCP messaging between processes. It allows arbitrary size messages (up to 2^32 - 9 bytes), and works in 32/64 bit configurations. currently only working in windows, but it is planned to be ported to Linux. The core library runs in a different thread, enqueuing the received messages. Methods are provided to dequeue messages, and to send to the other party.	static library
