VIGRA is a computer vision library that puts its main emphasize on
|
||
|
flexible algorithms, because algorithms represent the principle know-how
|
||
|
of this field. The library was consequently built using generic
|
||
|
programming as introduced by Stepanov and Musser and exemplified in the
|
||
|
C++ Standard Template Library. By writing a few adapters (image iterators
|
||
|
and accessors) you can use VIGRA's algorithms on top of your data
|
||
|
structures, within your environment. Alternatively, you can also use the
|
||
|
data structures provided within VIGRA, which can be easily adapted to a
|
||
|
wide range of applications. VIGRA's flexibility comes almost for free:
|
||
|
Since the design uses compile-time polymorphism (templates), performance
|
||
|
of the compiled program approaches that of a traditional, hand tuned,
|
||
|
inflexible, solution.
