Animation

create a GIF animation sequence from a group of images.

Color management

accurate color management with color profiles or in lieu of-- built-in gamma compression or expansion as demanded by the colorspace.

Command-line processing

utilize ImageConverter from the command-line.

Complex text layout

bidirectional text support and shaping.

Composite

overlap one image over another.

Connected component labeling

uniquely label connected regions in an image.

Decorate

add a border or frame to an image.

Delineate image features

Canny edge detection, Hough lines.

Discrete Fourier transform

implements the forward and inverse DFT.

Distributed pixel cache

offload intermediate pixel storage to one or more remote servers.

Draw

add shapes or text to an image.

Encipher or decipher an image

convert ordinary images into unintelligible gibberish and back again.

Format conversion

convert an image from one format to another (e.g. PNG to JPEG).

Generalized pixel distortion

correct for, or induce image distortions including perspective.

Heterogeneous distributed processing

certain algorithms are OpenCL-enabled to take advantage of speed-ups offered by executing in concert across heterogeneous platforms consisting of CPUs, GPUs, and other processors.

High dynamic-range images

accurately represent the wide range of intensity levels found in real scenes ranging from the brightest direct sunlight to the deepest darkest shadows.

Histogram Equalization

Use adaptive histogram equalization to improve contrast in images.

Image calculator

apply a mathematical expression to an image or image channels.

Image gradients

create a gradual blend of two colors whose shape is horizontal, vertical, circular, or elliptical.

Image identification

describe the format and attributes of an image.

ImageConverter on the iPhone

convert, edit, or compose images on your iOS device such as the iPhone or iPad.

Large image support

read, process, or write mega-, giga-, or tera-pixel image sizes.

Montage

juxtapose image thumbnails on an image canvas.

Morphology of shapes

extract features, describe shapes, and recognize patterns in images.

Motion picture support

read and write the common image formats used in digital film work.

Noise and color reduction

Kuwahara Filter, mean-shift.

Perceptual hash

map visually identical images to the same or similar hash-- useful in image retrieval, authentication, indexing, or copy detection as well as digital watermarking.

Special effects

blur, sharpen, threshold, or tint an image.

Text & comments

insert descriptive or artistic text in an image.

Threads of execution support

ImageConverter is thread safe and most internal algorithms execute in parallel to take advantage of speed-ups offered by multicore processor chips.

Transform

resize, rotate, deskew, crop, flip or trim an image.

Transparency

render portions of an image invisible.

Virtual pixel support

convenient access to pixels outside the image boundaries.
