FreeImage Algorithms

FreeImage Algorithms is an image processing library built on top of FreeImage. Although originally created for images involving cells it could be used for a large range of tasks.
Some of the features include Arithmetic operations, Statistical operations, Convolution and related filters, Predefined Palettes, FFT, Binary Morphology, Particle finding - Ie Labelling of binary images, HBITMAP conversions (Win32), Drawing - Basic Shapes / Convex Hull, Distance Transform, Flood Fill, Linear Scaling, Many utility functions including min max finding in an image, Get Pixels values along a line, Create images from arrays of data.
