image manipulation source code (C, java)

[Admin]

I found some well commented source code today that is really good for loading up images and doing computer vision on them . . .

It also has code for edge detection and Sobel masking.

Another good resource for image processing source code in C is

There's a book that goes with the code "Computer Imaging: Digital Image Analysis and Processing" by Scott Umbaugh.  It's been a while since I looked at his code, but I recall that it was easy to understand and incorporate.

If you want to do computer vision, you MUST look at roborealm (www.roborealm.com). Its a free robotics vision system, which is very capable and extremely user friendly. Sometimes it often feels like I'm using professional machine vision tools with it. Only a handful of things it can do right now is detect edges, track blobs, detect skin tones, detect movement, and recognize shapes. But thats just all the stuff it can do without even trying. It's capable of doing lots a vision stuff for robots.
