CLIMB: A Dynamic Approach To Generic Image Processing

From LRDE

Abstract

Olena is one of the most advanced image processing libraries in terms of genericity. Its fully static design allows for high performance, although sometimes at the cost of overweighted syntax and longer compilation times. This makes it less convenient for incremental developmentexperimentation and rapid prototyping. We will present a different approach to generic image processing which, while using the same domain model as Olena, focuses on dynamicity aspects and offers a totally different use of the library. The cornerstone is the Common Lisp programming language which opens a perspective for interactive use, on-the-fly creation of image types and algorithms as well as a clearcustomizable and extensible syntax for common operations.
