Project Summary
Generic Image Library (GIL) is a C++ generic library which allows for writing generic imaging algorithms with performance comparable to hand-writing for a particular image type. The library is designed with the following five goals in mind:
* Generality - Abstracts image representations from algorithms on images. It allows for writing code once and having it work for any image type.
* Performance - Speed has been instrumental to the design of the library.
* Flexibility - The library allows for any image parameter to be specified at run time.
* Extensibility - GIL is concept-based and allows virtually every component to be replaced.
* Compatibility - The library is designed as an STL and Boost complement.
