er 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
