SIP stands for Scilab Image Processing toolbox for Linux and Windows/

Requires Scilab

About:

SIP stands for Scilab Image Processing toolbox. SIP intends to do imaging tasks such as filtering, blurring, edge detection, thresholding, histogram manipulation, segmentation, mathematical morphology, color image processing, etc.

These operations are useful for problem solving in real-world applications ranging from car motion planning to automatic diagnosis of medical images.

SIP is meant to be a complete, useful, and FREE digital image processing toolbox for Scilab.

What SIP can do:
Although SIP is early in its development, it has the following useful features:

    * I/O of image files in many formats, including BMP, JPEG, GIF, PNG, TIFF, XPM, PCX, and more. (Thanks to ImageMagick)
    * Numerous functions with flexible interface and error treatment.
    * Help pages with examples for all the functions
    * Demos

Here is the full list of SIP Functions:

    * angle - gradient direction of edges
    * bwborder - border detection for binary images
    * bwdist - distance transforms
    * bwlabel - connected component labeling
    * curvature2d - curvature of a surface or image
    * curvature - curvature of a contour
    * dilate - morphological dilation of binary images
    * drawline - draws line in a binary image
    * edge - edge detection
