Eric: I use R to quantify the efficacy of ultrasonic inspections of metal components (e.g. looking for nonmetallic inclusions in forgings) and use R for image processing, but my methods have been rather a kluge. I am interested in your R functions, if you will make them available. Unfortunately, making a package for CRAN is (in my opinion) WAY too hard on Windows, and I've given up, but I hope that you do not. I second Stephan Matthiesen's recent suggestion that you make your image processing functions available to fellow R users, if not on CRAN, then perhaps as ascii files from your website.

I routinely do image analysis in R. Yes, it is relatively slow compared to dedicated solutions, but I like the smooth integration with the associated statistical analysis and the ability to have a single script that performs the image analysis and multiple files and subsequent statistical analysis, and with modern computing equipment R is fast enough for my purposes. I have a variety of standard image processing functions written in R, but have yet to distribute them because most people choose not to perform image analysis in R for the previously stated reasons. So in general I would agree that R is sub-optimal for image processing (and this is certainly outside the realm of things R was intended to do if I read the early mailing list archives correctly). However, it can be done and it might be desirable to do so from a work-flow perspective. -Eric > Greetings > > Thomas Kaliwe This email message, including any attachments, is for the so...{{dropped}} ______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html ______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html
