| |
| − | '''HornetsEye''' is maybe the first free software project providing a '''solid platform for implementing real-time computer vision software''' in a scripting language. The platform potentially could be used in '''robotic applications''', '''industrial automation''' as well as in '''microscopy''' and the '''life sciences'''.

| |
| − | If you are funding a project which uses HornetsEye you should understand that the contract is between you and the seller and it is the responsibility of the individual seller to deliver on the contract.

| |
| − | =Software Engineering=
| |
| − | '''HornetsEye''' brings the functionality of existing powerful free software packages into Ruby. '''HornetsEye''' also tries to make existing Ruby extension operate with each other to enable the development of novel solutions:
| |
| − | # [[Image:Qt4.png|30px]] '''Qt4-QtRuby''', [[Image:Kde.png|30px]] '''Korundum''': [http://rubyforge.org/projects/korundum/ QtRuby] and [http://developer.kde.org/language-bindings/ruby/ Korundum] can be used to develop graphical user interfaces and desktop applications with [http://trolltech.com/products/qt/ Qt4] and [http://www.kde.org/ KDE4].
| |
| − | # [[Image:Xine logo.png|48px]] '''Xine''': Using [http://www.xinehq.de/ Xine] one can read virtually any video file and it is even possible to read streaming videos.
| |
| − | # [[Image:Mplayerlogo.png|38px]] '''MPlayer''': [http://www.mplayerhq.hu/ MPlayer] is a player which can be used to read video files under GNU/Linux as well as Microsoft Windows.
| |
| − | # [[Image:Gears.png|30px|]] '''Mesa''': [http://www.mesa3d.org/ Mesa] is used for OpenGL-accelerated display of images.
| |
| − | # [[Image:Tanaka.png|30px]] '''NArray''': Masahiro Tanaka's [http://narray.rubyforge.org/ NArray] is an implementation of n-dimensional arrays for Ruby.
| |
| − | # [[Image:Fftw logo.gif|50px]] '''FFTW'''. The [http://www.fftw.org/ fftw]-library can is maybe the fastest library for performing discrete Fourier transforms. It can be invoked by using Masahiro Tanaka's [http://narray.rubyforge.org/ fftw3] extension.
| |
| − | # [[Image:RMagick.png|80px]] '''RMagick''': The [http://rmagick.rubyforge.org/ RMagick] Ruby-extension allows to use the powerful [http://www.imagemagick.org/Magick++/ Magick++] library in Ruby for loading and saving images.
| |
| − | # [[Image:Coriander.png|30px]] '''libdc1394''': Using [http://damien.douxchamps.net/ieee1394/libdc1394/ libdc1394] one can make use of a large choice of firewire digital cameras.
| |
| − | # [[Image:OpenEXR.jpg|30px]] '''OpenEXR''': The [http://www.openexr.org/ OpenEXR library] is used for saving and loading [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_dynamic_range_imaging high dynamic range] images.
| |
| − | # [[Image:C--boost logo.gif|80px]] '''Boost''': The [http://www.boost.org/ Boost Library] offers smart pointers to do exception safe programming, multi-dimensional arrays, template meta-programming, abstract data types for linear algebra and many other programming concepts. The Boost library is going to be part of a future C++ standard.
| |
| − | # [[Image:Stl logo.gif|30px]] '''STL''': The software makes use of the [http://www.sgi.com/tech/stl/ Standard Template Library]
| |
| − | # [[Image:Ruby.png|30px]] [http://www.ruby-lang.org/ Ruby] programming language
| |
| − | # [[Image:Bazaar.png|30px]] '''Bazaar''': [http://bazaar-vcs.org/ Bazaar] is used for version control. You can access the repository on the [[Image:Lp-diamond.png|30px]] [https://launchpad.net/projects/hornetseye Launchpad] site (see [http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/bzr.dev/en/quick-reference/quick-start-summary.svg Bazaar Quick Start Card] ([http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/bzr.dev/en/quick-reference/quick-start-summary.pdf PDF], [http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/bzr.dev/en/quick-reference/quick-start-summary.png PNG]) or [http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/bzr.dev/en/user-guide/index.html Bazaar User Guide] if you want to know more about using Bazaar).
| |
| − | # [[Image:Gcc logo.png|30px]] '''Gcc''': [http://www.gnu.org/software/gcc/ gcc] is the C++ compiler of the GNU project.
| |
| − | # [[Image:Gnu-head.jpg|35px]] '''autoconf''', '''automake''' and '''make''': [http://www.gnu.org/software/make/ make], [http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/ autoconf] and [http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/ automake] are used to configure and perform the build of the software on GNU/Linux as well as Microsoft Windows.
| |
| − | # [[Image:Naturaldocs.png|80px]] '''Natural Docs''': [http://www.naturaldocs.org/ Natural Docs] is used to create the HTML documentation.
| |
