Image Processing Tools

I haven't actually checked code quality or PD-ness of this one:

| Subject: SHAREWARE: New Image Processing Toolset
| 
|               IMG* Image Processing Toolset and C Library
| 
|                         Version 1.0 (Oct 1994)
| Announcing the availability of a new public domain image processing
| environment developed at Bath University: The ImgStar toolset.
| 
| *** Features:
|  * Seventy tools, including edge operators, space and Fourier domain
|    filtering, differential operators, sequence handling etc.
|  * Allows multiple images or sequences to be processed using one
| 
|    command-line.
|  * Developed to complement the well known PBMPLUS tools.
|  * Full 80 page postscript documentation.
|  * Only 3.5Mbytes - small enough to accompany any existing image
|    processing environment.
|  * Compatible with popular image file formats.
|  * Easily expandable using the accompanying C library.
|  * Developed and tested over two years on SGI and Sun UNIX platforms.
| 
| *** Description:
| 
| The ImgStar Image Processing Tools are intended as a complete
| environment for image processing to compliment Jef Poskanzer's PBMPLUS
| toolkit which mostly provides conversion between different standard
| file formats. All 70 ImgStar tools use a similar UNIX command line
| invocation style and images are piped between operators, each of which
| provides some filtering transformation. A floating point image format
| is introduced in order to allow image processing operations to be
| cascaded usefully. Conversion tools are included to convert between
| this and the PBM-type formats.
| 
| In addition to the processing of single images, all the ImgStar tools
| include support for sequential processing of multiple images from a
| single command line. This is useful when similar operations need to be
| applied to many images such as the analysis of motion sequences. A
| comprehensive set of sequence handling tools allows many useful
| processing schemes to be created with a minimum number of commands.
| 
| *** How to obtain it:
| 
| Version 1.0 of the package is now available by anonymous ftp from
| axiom.maths.bath.ac.uk (138.38.96.32) as file "imgstar.tar.Z" in
| directory "/pub/imgstar".
| 
| Further information is available by World Wide Web from:
| 
|    http://www.bath.ac.uk/~mapsajw/imgstar.html
| 
| This also provides a convenient way of downloading the package.

SGI computers ship with a 4Dgifts set of PD image hacking tools, mostly by Paul Haeberli.
