Hi everyone, I'm looking for a sponsor to Imview, a GPL'd application designed to display and analyze scientific images with large dynamic range or multispectral content.
Currently the Debian offerings in this area are pretty weak (AFAIK). The archive contains lots of programs to display and manipulate ordinary low dynamic range images (photographs), but people who want to view and analyze scientific images with more than 8-bit dynamics are left with cinepaint, which is more geared to film production, or the old and ugly astronomy oriented packages (saoimage, iraf). Imview on the other hand is based on a modern X11 toolkit (fltk), maintained upstream, and supports a huge amount of image formats (through Imagemagick) and image types (integer and floating point, multispectral etc.) The imview and imview-doc packages I've made can be found from mentors.debian.net repository deb http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main contrib non-free deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main contrib non-free The upstream URL is http://www.cmis.csiro.au/Hugues.Talbot/imview/ Here's the package description: Package: imview Status: install ok installed Priority: optional Section: science Installed-Size: 1076 Maintainer: Teemu Ikonen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Version: 1.1.2-1 Depends: libbz2-1.0, libc6 (>= 2.3.2.ds1-4), libfltk1.1c102 (>= 1.1.4), libfreetype6 (>= 2.1.5-1), libgcc1 (>= 1:3.3.2-1), libjpeg62, liblcms1 (>= 1.08-1), libmagick5.5.7, libpng12-0 (>= 1.2.5.0-4), libstdc++5 (>= 1:3.3.2-1), libtiff3g, libwmf0.2-7 (>= 0.2.8), libxft2 (>> 2.1.1), libxml2 (>= 2.6.3), xlibs (>> 4.1.0), zlib1g (>= 1:1.2.1) Suggests: imview-doc Description: Image viewing and analysis application Imview is an image viewing and an image analysis application which . * Displays a large number of image formats. * Displays 2D or 3D (as slices) images with a very good zoom and pan feature. * Works with multi-spectral, time series or multi-page documents (e.g.: Satellite images, TIFF stacks, animated GIFs and heterogeneous multi-component files). * Displays all pixel types (1-bit to 64-bit data, integer or floating point). * Arbitrary 1-D profile of 2-D images (or of 2-D slices of 3-D images) can be displayed. * Has support for arbitrary colourmaps for all pixel types (i.e.: false colour display). * Has standard image manipulation facilities (brightness/contrast, gamma, zoom, crop, rotation, etc). * Can be controlled remotely via sockets and text commands (for easy integration into various image analysis systems). * Images can be uploaded into Imview via sockets or shared memory. * And much more! .
