ANN: BBLimage 0.66 now available

[Paul Hughett]

The source distribution kit for BBLimage version 0.66 is now available
from

http://www.med.upenn.edu/bbl/bblimage


BBLimage is a collection of tools for processing volume images,
especially medical images; it includes Pyvox, a Python extension
for large multi-dimensional arrays.

Features added in release 0.66 include: The qdv image viewer now
supports 2x zoom, and linking the two displayed images so that image
motion commands apply to both; this facilitates the comparison of
related images using the blink comparator.  Computation of the chamfer
distance and various image statistics have been added.  Most functions
for array norms, metrics, and histograms now accept an optional weight
argument.  The registration classes now support the Pearson product
moment correlation as a similarity metric; they also support an
initial/baseline transform and yield a transform relative to that
baseline.

BBLimage is currently available as an alpha release under an open-
source license and is written in ANSI C and designed to be easily
portable to any Unix or Posix-compatible platform.  Some programs also
require the X Window System.
