Announcing ImageLab v1.0a

Over the last ten years I've implemented a lot of image processing algorithms in C++. Some were for research purposes, some for integration into other applications, and some were for including in imaging libraries.

Over the last few weeks I've been tinkering with image processing in C# and I've made the decision to port all my C++ imaging algorithms into C# (using GDI+), into an application called ImageLab. Sure, there's bound to be lots of other pieces of software called ImageLab but I'm sticking with that name anyway. My aim isn't to release production standard software such as Paint.NET, or create a competitor library to AForge. Rather, my aim is to just to release source code for scientific imaging routines that are hard to come by, that can be reused by anyone who sees fit.

At the moment I've ported around 15 different algorithms. My plan is to pack more features into it over the coming weeks then do a first release near Christmas. At the very least it should be of some use to my students...
