I'm happy to announce the release of the final G'MIC 1.4.0.0 version. G'MIC stands for GREYC's Magic Image Converter. This project aims to : Define a minimal but powerful script language (G'MIC) dedicated to the design of image processing pipelines. Provide an interpreter of this language (in C++), distributed as an open-source module/library embeddable in third-party applications. Propose two binary tools embedding this interpreter : The command-line executable gmic to use the G'MIC framework from a shell. The interactive plug-in gmic_gimp to bring G'MIC capabilities to the image retouching software GIMP. G'MIC is focused on the design of complex pipelines for converting, manipulating, filtering and visualizing generic 1d/2d/3d multi-spectral image datasets. Of course, it is able to manage color images, but also more complex data as image sequences or 3d volumetric datasets. G'MIC is an open framework : it is possible to extend the proposed default language with custom G'MIC-written commands, defining thus new image filters or effects. By the way, it already contains a substantial set of pre-defined image processing algorithms. G'MIC has been designed with portability in mind and runs on different platforms (Windows, Unix, MacOSX). It is distributed under the CeCILL license (GPL-compatible). It has been developed in the Image Team of the GREYC laboratory, in Caen/France, by permanent researchers working in the field of image processing on a daily basis. More
