Sep 14, 2007 Cimg is a nice and simple image library. What I especially like about it is that it is not fussy and does just what is required - it can load/save many different types of images, provides quite a few very useful built-in functions and provides direct access to individual pixels. The following piece of code. Dev-Cpp: Use the project file provided in the CImg library package to see how it works. If you are using another compilers and encounter problems, please write me since maintaining compatibility is one of the priority of the CImg Library. Nevertheless, old compilers that does not respect the C norm will not support the CImg Library. Auto computer tuning near savannah ga.
The CImg Library is a small and open-sourceC++ toolkit for image processing, designed with these properties in mind:
CImg defines classes and methods to manage images in your own C++ code. You can use CImg to load/save various file formats, access pixel values, display/transform/filter images, draw primitives (text, faces, curves, 3d objects, ..), compute statistics, manage user interactions on images, and so on..
CImg defines a single image class able to represent datasets having up to 4-dimensions (from 1d scalar signals to 3d hyperspectral volumetric images), with template pixel types (
bool,char,int,float,..
). It also handles image collections and sequences.CImg is self-contained, thread-safe and highly portable. It fully works on different operating systems (
Unix,Windows,MacOS X,*BSD,..
) and is compatible with various C++ compilers (Visual C++,g++,clang++,icc,..
).CImg is lightweight. It is made of a single header file
CImg.h
that must be included in your C++ source. It defines only four different classes, encapsulated in the namespace cimg_library
. It can be compiled using a minimal set of standard C++ and system libraries only. No need for exotic or complex dependencies. Although not mandatory, CImg can use functionalities of external tools/libraries such as Board, FFMPEG, FFTW3, GraphicsMagick, ImageMagick, Lapack, libcurl, libjpeg, libpng, libtiff, Magick++, OpenEXR, OpenCV, OpenMP or XMedCon. Moreover, a simple plug-in mechanism allows any user to directly enhance the library capabilities according to his needs.
CImg is a free, open-source library distributed under the CeCILL-C (close to the GNU LGPL) or CeCILL (compatible with the GNU GPL) licenses. It can be used in commercial applications.

CImg stands for Cool Image : It is easy to use, efficient and is intended to be a very pleasant toolbox to design image processing algorithms in C++. Due to its generic conception, it can cover a wide range of image processing applications.
