The LTI-Lib Computer Vision Library

[Posted June 9, 2003 by cook]

LTI-Lib is a cross-platform (Linux and Windows) computer vision and image processing library that was written in C++. [LTI-Lib]

The LTI-Lib is an object oriented library with algorithms and data structures frequently used in image processing and computer vision. It has been developed at the Chair of Technical Computer Science (Lehrstuhl fuer Technische Informatik) LTI at the Aachen University of Technology, as part of many research projects in computer vision dealing with robotics, object recognition and sing language and gesture recognition.

The library is divided into the following sections:

Encapsulation of Windows/Linux functionality.
Linear algebra.
Classification and Clustering.
Image Processing.
Visualization and Drawing Tools.

The Conceptual Class Hierarchy document gives a much more detailed explanation of the library contents.

One interesting feature of LTI-Lib is a Perl language scripting system that can be used to generate template files, making use of the library straightforward. For details, see the LTI-Lib Architecture document, which is part of the Online Manual.

LTI-Lib Version Beta 1.9.3 was announced this week.

"This release provides new functors and features, many bug fixes and more documentation."

Dependencies include GCC 2.95.3 or newer, Perl, and the GTK libraries. LTI-Lib has been released under the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL). The code is available for download here.
