DESCRIPTION
PIKS, the "Programmer's Imaging Kernel System," is the SIO-approved image processing Application Program Interface (API). It is the only existing international standard of its kind. This book, by the document editor of the standard, and an authority in the field of image processing, serves as a reference and programming guide to the standard.PIKS Foundation C Programmers Guide provides valuable assistance to the programmer in understanding how the API works and how it can be used to write imaging programs. It contains descriptions of image processing operators and gives pragmatic examples of their use.
As the only widely available document other than the standard itself, this guide will be useful to readers who want to evaluate PIKS as their future imaging API. For those who choose to adopt PIKS, the Guide will serve as a desktop manual for its use. Readers include:
- Programmers writing image processing software
- Scientists doing research that involves processing images
- Managers responsible for image processing system development
- Architects of image processing systems
