Hi Ed,
A cople of things I would like to see:
The ability to read and write a variety of image formats.
That is of course important. But in my view really a separate issue from developing a library of analysis routines. The latter just have to operate on numarray arrays and need not to worry about how the data gets there. Of course you need to get your data in numarray. PIL seems to do a good job with images, except for 16bit tiffs which causes me quiet some problems. Anybody know a good solution for getting 16bit tiffs into numarray?
Hi Peter, When did you try that ? My info is the PIL released within the last few month version 1.1.4 which does the job. this is from http://effbot.org/zone/pil-changes-114.htm: (1.1.4a2 released) + Improved support for 16-bit unsigned integer images (mode "I;16"). This includes TIFF reader support, and support for "getextrema" and "point" (from Klamer Shutte). (Ooops: PIL 1.1.4 final was released on May 10, 2003. (time flies ...) Regards, Sebastian
