Hey David

Thanks a lot for your code. Edge detection comes pretty close to what I need. I'm glad to have an example gaussian matrix now.

The j sentences to create filtering matrices and to then convolve them
with the image them with images is direct with ;. (cut).  This is j701
code.  After any step step you can look at current result using
viewmat THE_ARRAY


require'bmp viewmat'
NB. use your own path...
TOUCAN=: readbmp'/usr/local/j64-701/addons/graphics/bmp/toucan.bmp'

IMAGE =: TOUCAN

rSquared =: [: +/&.:*:/~ i:
gaussianMatrix =: ^@:((% _2 * *:)~ rSquared) NB. SIGMA gaussianMatrix R
normalize =: % +/@:,
ngm =: normalize@:gaussianMatrix
assert ( 9 11  9 , 11 19 11 ,:  9 11  9 ) -: (<. 0.5 + 100 * 1 ngm 1)
assert (1 1 $ 1) -: 1 ngm 0

FilterArray =: adverb def '(1 1,:$m) m&(+/@:,@:*);._3 ]'
SOBELY =:  (, 0 ,: -)1 2 1
SOBELX =: |: SOBELY

FILTEREDIMAGE =: (1 ngm 4) FilterArray IMAGE
COMPLEXIMAGE =: (SOBELX FilterArray j. SOBELY FilterArray) FILTEREDIMAGE

ORIENTATION =: 12 o. COMPLEXIMAGE  NB. circle function 12 is the angle
of the complex number

Hi

I'm new to J (and virtually to programming in general). I have just
finished reading the J Primer. For my PHD I need to do some image
processing. I was wondering whether J was a good choice for image
processing, since the language works so fine with arrays. At the
moment,
I'm mostly using Wolfram Mathematica, which I like a lot, but it is
also
very slow.

Is J fast? Does there already exist a library for image processing
tasks?

Any help is appreciated!
Sarah
