Lecture notes are posted (in Postscript) in Class Notes (http://www.ccs.neu.edu/course/com3470)
Test images are described in Images
Sample source code to access images is in /course/com3470/code
The easiest image display program to use is xv. To call xv, use the following command:
( echo P5; echo xsize ysize; echo maxgraylevel; cat filename ) | xv -
For example, to display the 512 x 512 byte/pixel image "test", use the line:
( echo P5; echo 512 512; echo 255; cat test ) | xv -
During this course we will also use:
MATLAB - a high-performance numeric computation and visualization software (Sun workstation, Macintosh, PC) and its Digital Image Processing toolbox. A short tutorial on MATLAB functions will be given in class.
NIH-Image - a public domain software for image processing
Hypermedia Image Processing Reference (HIPR) - a set of computer-based tutorial materials on a wide range of image processing operations: image arithmetic, point operations, geometric operations, image analysis, morphology, digital filters, feature detectors, image transforms, and image synthesis.
