We should probably update info in the docs about what plugins we support. Freeimage is already listed in our install page, but there are actually a few others that aren't: http://scikit-image.org/docs/dev/install.html

For me, `skimage.io.imread` doesn't read jp2 by default (my default plugin is 'PIL'), but I can set the plugin to 'freeimage' to read jp2 images; e.g. from skimage import io io.imread('some_image.jp2', plugin='freeimage') which uses freeimage just for that one call or io.use_plugin('freeimage') io.imread('some_image.jp2') which changes your default io plugin to freeimage. You'd need to have the freeimage library installed on your system to use this plugin: http://freeimage.sourceforge.net/ There may be other skimage plugins that support jp2, but I'm not sure.

Hello, Are jpeg 2000 images supported in skimage? I tried looking for it in the docs but didn't find anything. Thanks -- JD

Hi, hopefully I'll have time to try to solve this. Unfortunately I'm short of time at the moment...

Motion deblurring challenge
by Stéfan van der Walt 24 Oct '12

24 Oct '12

Hi, all Every year, I give the students in our image processing course the challenge of deblurring the following image: https://github.com/stefanv/scikit-image-demos/blob/master/data/clock_motion… Now, the question is whether the experts on this mailing list decipher the time on the wall clock! Here's my attempt so far: https://github.com/stefanv/scikit-image-demos/blob/master/clock_deblur.py -- mine tells the time already, so don't look if you want to figure this one out yourself. Cheers Stéfan

LPI filter framework redesign
by Stéfan van der Walt 24 Oct '12

24 Oct '12

Hi all, I just revisited the LPI filter framework for the first time in many years, and...err...it's pretty bad :) I wrote this originally to simulate the effect of a specific point-spread-function on an image--and for that purpose it works OK. But for restoring images based on a kernel, the interface doesn't work. I'd like to redesign this functionality, and would like to have your input. Does anyone here have much experience in this type of filtering and deblurring images? My bigger aim is to implement fairly robust blind deconvolution. Stéfan

In the mean time, improving the existing Wiener inverse filter to support kernels would be good. Also, adding Thikonov's inverse method. Thanks for the link! Stéfan

Hello, I just went through an interesting post on restoration of defocused and blurred images (with Matlab code provided), that you might find interesting: http://yuzhikov.com/articles/BlurredImagesRestoration1.htm guillaume
