VIGRA[1][2][3] is the abbreviation for "Vision with Generic Algorithms". It is a free open source computer vision library which focuses on customizable algorithms and data structures. VIGRA component can be easily adapted to specific needs of target application without compromising execution speed, by using template techniques similar to those in the C++ Standard Template Library.

Features

Images and Multi-dimensional Arrays, Image Processing, Filters, Segmentation, Image Analysis, 3-dimensional Image Processing and Analysis, Machine Learning, Mathematical Tools, and Inter-language support.

VIGRA runs on the three major operating systems (Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux). Since version 1.7.1, VIGRA provides Python bindings based on numpy framework.

History

VIGRA was originally designed and implemented by scientists at Heidelberg Collaboratory for Image Processing (HCI) University of Heidelberg. In the meantime, many developers have contributed to the project.

Application

CellCognition and ilastik uses VIGRA computer vision library.

Resources

VIGRA project is hosted on GitHub.
