It allows you to set images from the Blackbox root menu as well as from the bbrb GUI. CLSimilarImages CLSimilarImages is a command-line program for finding images which are visually similar to each other, even if they are not precisely the same. It can usually detect similarity despite recompression, resizing, stretching, and minor modifications. CMYKTiff CMYKTiff is an extension to the NetPbm package for producing tiff format files with CMYK colours (ie for printing). Although aimed at the NetPbm package, input, conversion and output routines are separate. It is the ideal base for similar programs with other file formats and algorithms. copyphotos copyphotos is a command-line utility which renames your photos based on the date and time they were taken, giving useful filenames like 2007-04-21_10-09-42.JPG instead of P017732.JPG. It also creates directories for the year, month, and date, making it simple to keep your photo collection organised. CVLTonemap CVLTonemap is an interactive viewer and tone mapping tool for high dynamic range (HDR) images. By performing the tone mapping on the graphics processing unit (GPU), CVLTonemap can immediately display the results of method and parameter changes. cvtool Cvtool is a general-purpose computer vision tool.

It understands both the NetPBM image formats (pbm, pgm, ppm, pam) and the YUV4MPEG2 raw video format used by the MJPEG Tools. DENormGen The DENormGen is a tool designed to help you create Geometry Normal Maps. Such maps are used in high-end Games to fool the Player into believing that a Low Resolution Mesh does have much more detail than it actually does. Those kind of Normal Maps are best generated using a High Resolution Mesh from which the Normal Informations is extracted and projected onto the Low Resolution Mesh. DrawView DrawView allows Draw files created by the Acorn/RiscOS application Draw, and other compatible applications, to be displayed on a Linux or other Unix system (and possibly others). Drawings can be exported in PDF or PostScript format for printing or use in other applications. exifprobe exifprobe is a tool to probe and report the structure and contents of JPEG and TIFF image files. The program will 'probe' image files which begin with a valid JPEG SOI or a valid TIFF header, and will recognize all standard JPEG and TIFF marker tags (and many "private" TIFF tags), including APPn markers, EXIF2.2 tags, and camera MakerNotes which are found to be in TIFF IFD format. ExifTagger ExifTagger is a perl gtk2 app that provides a convenient graphical interface to tagging images. Unlike most other tools, this inserts the tag information into the images as Exif, so they will permanently be part of the digital image. The interface is pretty intuitive, though more information will come with time. findimagedupes findimagedupe performs a rough "visual diff" on two or more images. This command line program will scan two pictures (or a whole tree of pictures) and determine if there are any that look alike.

It supports 3D special effects and is very simple to use. Mapagi Mapagi is a pagination utility that prints your images/comics in 'in folio' format. To produce a book printed in folio format, the sheet of paper is folded once, producing 2 leaves. Each leaf has 2 sides, the recto (front) and the verso (back). Metapixel Metapixel is a program for generating photomosaics. It can generate classical photomosaics, in which the source image is viewed as a matrix of equally sized rectangles for each of which a matching image is substitued, as well as collage-style photomosaics, in which rectangular parts of the source image at arbitrary positions. Motiontrack Motiontrack is a set of tools that detect motion between two PNG or JPG images. Motiontrack is a backend tool, to use in your own scripts, together with other tools to get the images from a webcam, like v4lctl, an apache server to host them.

It is basically designed to display any kind of information embedded in picture files, as well as checking, filtering, extracting, removing, adding and fixing such information. In other words, it's a metadata processor. Perceptual Image Diff Perceptual Image Diff is a command line utility that tells you if two similar images are different from the point of view of a theoretical human observer. It's useful for running automated regression testing on images that are perceptually identical but have minor pixel noise from different random number generators or small changes to algorithms. pngcheck pngcheck verifies the integrity of PNG files (by checking the internal 32-bit CRCs or checksums) and optionally dumps almost all of the chunk-level information in the image in human-readable form. PNGwriter PNGwriter allows you to plot to a 16-bit PNG file, saving it directly to disk. Plotting is as easy as specifying the red, green, and blue values and the x, y coordinates of the pixel. pnmcurve pnmcurve is a command line tool that applies tone curves to pnm images. Curves are specified as a set of control points of a cubic spline. pnmcurve applies the resulting spline curve to the pnm image read from stdin and writes the resulting image to stdout. Command line switches allow the user to apply the curve only to selected color channels. ppminfo ppminfo shows details of a ppm file on the console, displaying the resolution and some statistics. ppmtofb lppmtofb lets you display netpbm-format graphics on framebuffer consoles. ppsei ppsei (PPS Extract Images) is a simple command line program, which tries to extract images from Microsoft PowerPoint documents (PPS/PPT).

A lot of information/comments are included for budding Blender Python script writers. Shoebox Shoebox is a pure Python version/rewrite of Nodebox. It can read scripts in the Nodebox language and output images in SVG, PostScript, PDF or PNG format using the Cairo rendering engine. Comparing to graphics coding alternatives like Nodebox and Processing, Shoebox is lighter and more flexible thanks to not depending on an interface engine for rendering, thus making it potentially suitable for CPU-conscious uses like server applications. Unlike Processing and Nodebox though, Shoebox can only output still images for the time being. It can be run stand-alone on a shell or as part of a Python program. SmartPainter SmartPainter generates images for the user to decide if they are pleasing to their eye. Then, once the images have been rated, more random images will be generated similar to the best looking ones. SnapMatcher SnapMatcher is an application intended for photographers, artists, or image packrats who have very large collections of digital images, some of which may be duplicates or near duplicates. By identifying images across multiple formats with the ability to filter out minor edits such as changes to contrast, brightness, color balance, resizing, or even the addition of text or borders SnapMatcher can be a valuable tool in organizing culling unwieldy collections.

It has been used in the past in a live music performance environment. Stegdetect Stegdetect is an automated tool for detecting steganographic content in images. It is capable of detecting severval different steganographic methods to embed hidden information in JPEG images. TarTheft TarThef is a PACS (picture archive communication system). It works with the version-control system 'subversion'. It "steals" large files (e.g. pictures that can be +100MB per piece) from a subversion repository, puts them on tape, and then marks those revisions. Then, the repository is stripped to make the disk-based repository smaller again. TarTheft provides long-term archiving, making it possible to link disk-based files with their tape backups. TOIlet The TOIlet project attempts to create a free replacement for the FIGlet utility. TOIlet stands for ?The Other Implementation?s letters?, coined after FIGlet?s ?Frank, Ian and Glen?s letters?.
