Summer of Code - Getting Started: Difference between revisions

The image package has partial functionality for N-dimensional images. These images do exist in practice for example in medical imaging where slices from scans are assembled to form anatomical 3D images, or even exposures taken over time on different wavelengths can result in 5D images. As part of GSoC 2013, the core functions {{codeline|imwrite}} and {{codeline|imread}} were extended to better support this type of images. Likewise, many functions in the image package, mostly morphology operators, were expanded to deal with this type of images. Still, many are left to, specially image transformation and analysis of ROIs.

Note that while many of the functions in the image package will not complain about ND images, they are actually not correctly implemented and will give incorrect results.

'''Required skills''': m-file scripting, and a fair ammount of C++ since a lot of image analysis cannot be vectorized. Familiarity with common CS algorithms will be useful and willingness to read literature describing new algorithms.
