Introduction
Imview is an image viewing package intended for image analysis, i.e:
getting numbers (measurements) out of images. It is designed to
interface easily to image analysis packages such as Khoros or Z-IMAGE
(http://www.cmis.csiro.au/IAP/zimage.htm), to perform as an external
viewer.
It has facilities for histogram-based segmentation, comparing images
before and after a series of filtering, etc. It supports many different
image format and pixel types (integer and floating point, 1 to 64 bits).
It can also perform more than adequately as a general-purpose image
display application, but this is not the emphasis.
Imview is free software distributed under the GNU public licence.
Version 1.1.x:
Imview version 1.1.x is the currently unstable version based on FLTK
1.1.x
Roadmap
IMVIEW consists of a main executable and a few support files. Among the
support files there are:
.lut files: these are simple Colour Look-Up Table text
files that associate a grey-level index to
an RGB colour (false colours).
.html files: these are the online documentation (very
slim at this stage)
.jpg file: this is the splash screen. Replace it or
delete if you don't like it! Let me know
if you make a better one.
The main executable (imview) is a semi-static executable linked against
a number of imaging libraries (JPEG, PNG, TIFF, ImageMagick) and the GUI
toolkit (FLTK).
Installer:
Imview is provided both in source and binary form. All binary formats
come with an installer. If you downloaded the RPM then use the rpm
installer to make use of it, otherwise Under Unix: untar the file and
type ./setup Under Windows: simply execute the file.
NOTE:
under windows 9x (95, 98 and me) you must make sure that TCP/IP is
installed. If you have an internet connection you will be fine. TCP/IP
is always present with Unix, NT, Win2k and WinXP.
Documentation:
Imview should be very simple to use, but full documentation is available
in HTML, PS or PDF format, see the web site
http://www.cmis.csiro.au/Hugues.Talbot/imview
or
http://imview.sourceforge.net/
To compile imview:
See the INSTALL text file. Essentially you will need the FLTK library
(http://www.fltk.org), and supporting imaging libraries if they are not
present on your system.
On Unix imview uses the POSIX thread library, TCP/IP sockets and the
SYSV IPC if present. Under windows an implementation of POSIX threads is
provided (SYSV IPC is not used, sockets are used instead).
The directory structure:
imview. The main source repository
|-- check For regression testing (an interesting concept for GUIs)
|-- client Network client code (to remote-control imview)
|-- distrib To make distributions
| |-- binaries Generic binary distributions
| |-- redhat Specific to the RedHat RPM system
| | |-- BUILD
| | |-- CVS
| | |-- RPMS
| | |-- SOURCES
| | |-- SPECS
| | `-- SRPMS
| |
| `-- windows Uses the Inno Setup installer for Windows
|
|-- doc Documentation (online one only, full documentation is separate)
|-- export Used for making snapshots
|-- fluid Interface files (FLUID is the fast light user interface designer)
|-- io I/O library (all these different image formats)
|-- obj Compilation subdirectory
| `-- NT-msvc++ MSVC++ project files
| `-- fluid
|-- server Imview server (for remote control)
|-- stl Missing bits of the STL for egcs/gcc-2.95.x
| `-- sstream
`-- support Support files (LUT, etc).
