Brief
LIP (Lua Image processor) is an open source Image Processing library, or better, a simple application able to
analyze and elaborate image and sequences of images using LUA as scripting language. Written in C/C++, it is cross-platform (Unix / Linux, Windows) and robust.
LIP uses FreeImage to load
image and FreeType to draw
text, but several Image Processing algorithm are built-in application.
Using LIP can you create various application, like thumbnail for your
web site, a set of visual effects for photo, and so on.
Why LUA (and Pawn/SmallC)?
According to benchmark LUA is the fastest interpreted object oriented language.
Pawn/SmallC is less common than LUA and does not have a lot of feature (object oriented, string and so on), but it is faster then LUA.
LUA is the right choice for standard application and the development on this architecture is suggested. Pawn maybe choose in time-critical application requiring scripting support.
Main Features
- Can read and write up to 30 image formats (thank to FreeImage): BMP, GIF, JPEG, PNG, PPM, TGA, TIF and others
- Support for 8-bits to 16-bits depth images.
- Built-in image processing algorithms (filtering, morphological mathematics, labelling, color conversion, and so on)
- very easy to use (LUA based) and can used to boost productivity, testing processing before implement in hardware.
Technology
- Developing xStream C++ library to access images from different source (file,memory,socket,http,ftp etc)
- Developing YAIL (Yet Another Image Library) to simplify management of images. It is written in c++ without using of RTTI and exception. Multithread if required.
- Developing IPL (Image Processing Library) to elaborate images
Future
- Binding with OpenCV to elaborate images is evaluated. Why any libriaries have their own Image struct?
- Binding with libdc1934 and V4L2 or UniCAP (Linux)
- Moving to LuaJIT
