About
This is a collection of Matlab programs for image and video compression that have been developed mainly by myself, unless otherwise noted. Some of them have solely educational value, some are indispensable tools for doing research on image/video processing, and some are just cool. The reason I went public with this is that I am hoping for some feedback, suggestions for improvementss and bug reports, and basically I want them to be useful to more people than to just a handful.
The content is divided into these categories:
- Toolboxes - Collection of functions, thematically grouped. There are some interdependencies between them and some GUIs as well. For those cases the dependent toolboxes are clearly listed in the "About" section.
- GUIs - Primarily educational and informational. Since I strongly believe in visual approach to teaching, this is my small contribution. If one image worths a thousand words, I would say that one good GUI worths at least a few megabits
.
- Test sets - You can always use these programs with some random signals, but it is nowhere as exciting as working with some real-world images and videos. Here I am planning to put some of the most widely used test images and videos, if not as downloadable files then as references to the original locations.
The programs you can find here are free software, distributed under a GPL License. The copy of the license can be found within each of the downloadable zip packages. I would be grateful if you could reference this web page in any publication, or software based on them. An appropriate BibTeX entry for some XYZ Toolbox would look something like this:
@misc{MatlabXYZ06,
author = "Nikola Sprljan",
title = "{MATLAB} XYZ Toolbox (v1.00)
$[$\texttt{http://www.sprljan.com/nikola/matlab}$]$",
year = 2007
}
