This article is mainly meant for Engineering Students undergoing their
first courses in Digital Image Processing (or for Faculty taking their
courses in DIP). Trust, your ‘life runs on code’ (such an uncanny
resemblance with the Blogathon theme of the week!)
Consider a classroom scenario where the Faculty has to cover a Image
Processing Textbook in a semester. How much practical do you think the
course gets? Or do the practicals begin when the course is about to
end? :)
What if you get to code each algorithm taught the very day without
worrying about how to decompress a jpeg file or how to display the
image data, for that matter? What if you could share your work or
critique that of other students in different colleges? And of what
consequences could this, practical way of coding and learning, be to
you in your job interviews?
Read on..!
We know that the best scientific algorithms are designed in the
academic environment of the universities. Image Apprentice facilitates
you by simplifying your learning curve.
ADISL's Image Apprentice is a Microsoft® Visual C++ based Image
Processing Learner's Toolkit. Students use it as a companion to their
favourite Image Processing Textbook. It allows one to use self-written
image processing algorithms as plugins.
It comes with a Plugin Development Kit (PDK) that has a skeleton code
having a simple coding style. A student who has attended a 101-level
course in C++ programming is well-equipped to write an Image
Processing plugin for Image Apprentice using Microsoft® Visual C++.
To add to that, it has an active Plugin Developer Network where
students from different Engineering Institutes submit and share their
image processing algorithms, all with full source code, getting the
due credit.
So go ahead and start coding an algorithm, start with a project on
Digital Image Processing or a full research paper for internship.
Possibilities are immense.
With the new Microsoft® Office Fluent™–based user interface, you get
to enjoy same UI as Office 2007.
By the way, comes the month of May and Image Apprentice will be all
set to work on Windows 7 and Visual Studio 2010.
