I am worried, in previous versions of scilab, I implemented a medium project for scientific computing with scilab at that time had many memory leaks and had been a nightmare. With the new updates that was fixed and this much better. But now I am implementing another project involving massive image processing. And the three atoms for this, one does not work, one does not load images but the manual says they can do, and other charges but leak the computer's memory and it took me longer skirting the problem than implementing the solution. And worse, because this the system is much slower than it should. This atom memory failure it has been known, however, despite it make impraticable to use the atom for medium and large projects, makes three years that no one gets the bug. forge.scilab.org/index.php/p/IPD/issues/992/ There are high expectations with Scilab 6 and I believe we will have a much better platform. But for what you know, in the meantime we will run out of many atoms, and this greatly reduces the possibility of working in scilab. What is the future of Scilab? For now, the impression I have is that the atoms are abandoned and without the atoms the usefulness of scilab is reduced a lot.

Hi,

I think there are two issues here:

1) The sad state of image processing toolbox with Scilab. It's terrrible. Image processing with Scilab is a nightmare. Every other language I use is far better than Scilab in this area (even extremely young language like Julia offers a better experience. The 3 toolboxes are either broken, unmaintained or difficult (or impossible) to install. And the experience is even worse under Linux (IPD for example requires a very old version of opencv to be manually installed under Linux which is a daunting task for most user and which introduces many compatibility issues with other softwares relying on opencv).

2) The lack of information on the life (or lack of life) for a given atoms module. I know some information is available on the atoms website, but I've always found it difficult to determine whether the package was long dead or under active development. There are some long dead modules that are still listed alongside with actively maintained ones and that show excellent rating. It's a bit confusing.

Concerning the first issue, image processing with scilab, I think a basic core image support should be part of scilab.
