Open Source Image Processing Software

XPaint is a simple paint program for X, suitable for producing simple graphics. It does offer some advanced features such as image processing functions and gradient fill. XPaint was originally written by David Koblas.

The Orfeo Toolbox is a C++ library for high resolution remote sensing image processing. It is developped by CNES in the frame of the ORFEO program. More information is available at www.orfeo-toolbox.org It is based on the medical image processing library ITK and offers particular functionalities for remote sensing image processing in general and for high spatial resolution images in particular. Targeted algorithms for high resolution optical images (SPOT, Quickbird, Worldview, Landsat, Ikonos), hyperspectral sensors (Hyperion) or SAR (TerraSarX, ERS, Palsar) are available. Orfeo ToolBox has three main access depending on the category of user: write processing chains in C++ using existing filters or creating new ones, use the OTB applications, which is a plugin-based framework allowing to extend high-level processing chains from various environment ( command-line, QT, QGis, Python....) or use Monteverdi, a software for everyday life image manipulation and analysis.

Haytham is an open source video based eye tracker suited for head-mounted or remote setups. It provides real-time gaze estimation in the user’s field of view or the computer display by analyzing eye movement. Haytham offers gaze-based interaction with computer screens in fully mobile situations. The software is built by C#, using Emgu and AForge image processing libraries. LICENSE The Haytham is released under a dual license: FREE VERSION: The source code is released under GPL version 3.0. In short, it means that any distributed project that includes or links any portion of Haytham source code has to be released with the source code under a license compatible with GPLv3. COMMERCIAL VERSION: If you want to use the Haytham in a closed source commercial product, you must purchase the license. Please contact the contract adviser at IT University of Copenhagen(jst@itu.dk).

VidCapture is a video capture library for web cameras, focusing on ease of use for image processing projects. It may be used in commercial and non-commercial software.

A professional office drawing tool that can draw various process diagrams, flow charts, topology diagrams, mind maps, Gantt charts, architecture diagrams, and support process data simulation.

PGMania is a universal package for processing deep space images. The program provides wide and unique functionality, a powerful and flexible tool with a clear and user-friendly interface. The program performs all image processing cycles for astrophotography, including filtering, cleaning, aligning, image calibrating, stacking, post-processing, format conversion, cropping, rotations, many special operations and much more. PGMania is environmentally friendly - it does not clutter your photos with something that was never there. You get full control over all processing processes and the most clean and accurate result at all cycles. The program has a clear and user-friendly interface and detailed help for all stages of processing.

Pink is an image processing library developed at ESIEE Engineering for research and teaching purposes. It contains implementations of over 200 algorithms for image segmentation and filtering.

C++ Software Framework based on wxWidgets for Developing Image Processing Algorithms

This is a collection of tools that I keep for various reasons. They are generally, utilities (such as a key exchange utility), image processing tools, or science related.
