IM is based on 4 concepts: Image Representation, Storage, Processing and + Capture. Image Visualization is a task that it is left for a graphics library.</p> + <p>It provides support for image capture, several image file formats and many image processing operations. The most + popular file formats are supported: TIFF, BMP, PNG, JPEG, GIF and AVI.</p> + <p>Image representation includes scientific data types (like IEEE floating point data) and attributes (or metadata + like GeoTIFF and Exif tags). Animation, video and volumes are supported as image sequences, but there is no digital + audio support. </p> + <p>The main goal of the library is to provide a simple API and abstraction of images for scientific applications. </p> + <p>The toolkit API is written in C. The core library source code is implemented in C++ and it is very portable, it can + be compiled in Windows and UNIX with no modifications. New image processing operations can be implemented in C or in + C++.</p> + <p>IM is free software, can be used for public and commercial applications.</p> + <p>IM has been used in Tecgraf for many theses and dissertations.
