Abstract :
This paper describes a set of portable tools developed for teaching image processing at Washington State University. The tools consist of an ANSI-C library of basic image processing functions specifically designed to make it easy for a novice user to add their own image processing functions, a Visual C++ version of the library with an integrated Windows interface, a collection of example images demonstrating the effects of the various algorithms and concepts of image processing, and several interactive applications developed for various windowing platforms to allow students to interactively experiment with and discover image processing. It is important to note that in addition to being useful for teaching image processing, these tools are useful for motivating students in a rich variety of fields
