GREYC's Magic for Image Computing
( https://gmic.eu )
3.2.4
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# In a nutshell
#---------------
G'MIC is a full-featured open-source framework for digital image processing, distributed
under the CeCILL free software licenses (LGPL-like and/or GPL-compatible). It
provides several user interfaces to convert / process / visualize
generic image datasets, ranging from 1D scalar signals to 3D+t sequences of
multi-spectral volumetric images, hence including 2D color images.
G'MIC user interfaces are:
1 - 'gmic', a command-line tool to use the G'MIC image processing features from
a shell. In this setting, G'MIC may be seen as a friendly companion to the
ImageMagick or GraphicsMagick software suites.
2 - 'libgmic', a small, portable, thread-safe and multi-threaded, C++ image
processing library to be linked to third-party applications. Its simple API
allows programmers to add all G'MIC features in their own software without
much efforts (a C API is available as well).
[
3 - 'G'MIC-Qt', a plug-in to bring G'MIC capabilities to the image retouching and
painting software GIMP, Krita, Photoshop and Paint.NET. More than 500 filters are already
available, sorted by category (Artistic, Black & white, Colors, Contours,
Deformations, Degradations, Details, Film emulation, Frames, Layers,
Light & shadows, Patterns, Rendering, Repair, Sequences, etc.).
4 - G'MIC Online, a web service to allow users applying image processing algorithms
on their images, directly from a web browser.
5 - 'ZArt', a Qt-based interface for real-time processing of video streaming coming
from webcams or video files.
G'MIC is an open framework: the default script language can be extended with
custom G'MIC-written commands, defining thus new image available filters or
effects. By the way, it already contains a substantial set of pre-defined image
processing algorithms and pipelines (more than 1000).
G'MIC has been designed with portability in mind, and runs on different
platforms (Windows, Unix, MacOSX).
Since 2008, it has been developed in the Image Team of the
GREYC laboratory, in Caen/France, by permanent researchers working in the field
of image processing on a daily basis.
