Hi, I've been looking for Image Processing packages. Thresholding, Edge Filters, Dct, Segmentation, Restoration. I'm aware, that Octave, Matlab etc. would be a good address but then I'm missing the "statistical power" of R. Does anybody know of packages, projects etc. Comments on wether the use of R for such matters is useful are welcome. Greetings Thomas Kaliwe [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hello, There are a couple of things for image processing in R (look at pixmap and Rimage, for instance). However, R is *not* a good software for processing images (nor is Matlab, Octave, IDL: they use to have specific packages for image processing and analysis, but resulting applications are way to slow in comparison to dedicated software). A good approach is to mix ImageJ and R, if you are looking for an Open Source solution. You could look at ZooImage for an example application using these two software (analysis of digital zooplankton images, see: http://www.sciviews.org/zooimage).

I routinely do image analysis in R. Yes, it is relatively slow compared to dedicated solutions, but I like the smooth integration with the associated statistical analysis and the ability to have a single script that performs the image analysis and multiple files and subsequent statistical analysis, and with modern computing equipment R is fast enough for my purposes. I have a variety of standard image processing functions written in R, but have yet to distribute them because most people choose not to perform image analysis in R for the previously stated reasons. So in general I would agree that R is sub-optimal for image processing (and this is certainly outside the realm of things R was intended to do if I read the early mailing list archives correctly). However, it can be done and it might be desirable to do so from a work-flow perspective. -Eric> Greetings > > Thomas KaliweThis email message, including any attachments, is for the so...{{dropped}}

I work with satellite imagery, where you need both statistical tools for data analysis and versatile image processing/visualization tools.> So in general I would agree that R is sub-optimal for image processing > (and this is certainly outside the realm of things R was intended to do > if I read the early mailing list archives correctly).

Actually, it seems to me that an increasing number of people use R for tasks that are not strictly statistical analyses, often as a replacement for Matlab. Thanks for your good work! Stephan

Nice. May I incorporate these into the collection I am packaging up for
redistribution?

Subject: Re: [R] Image Processing packages
A couple of years ago, I was using R as a first step before
implementing image analysis algorithms on a portable biochip
reader. Here is the code I had written at the time, should
someone find it useful (it mainly contains "morphological
operations"):
http://zoonek2.free.fr/UNIX/48_R/morphology.R
There are a few examples (commented in French) at the end of
http://zoonek.free.fr/Ecrits/2004_BioRet.pdf.bz2
The code of those examples:
