dipum_toolbox_2.0.1

README file for the DIPUM Toolbox. These MATLAB functions were created for the book Digital Image Processing Using MATLAB, 2nd edition, by R.C. Gonzalez, R.E. Woods, and S.L. Eddins, Gatesmark Publishing, 2009. The functions supplement and extend the image processing functionality of MATLAB and the Image Processing Toolbox, both offered by The MathWorks. The P-code version of the DIPUM Toolbox --------------------------------------- The P-code version of the DIPUM Toolbox contains only executable MATLAB P-files. P-files may be executed as MATLAB functions just as M-files. Unlike M-files, however, neither the help text nor the source code is accessible. Complete source code listings for all functions are included in the book. The registered version of the DIPUM Toolbox ------------------------------------------- The registered version of the DIPUM Toolbox contains M-files with readable source code and help text. Users who want the M-files in electronic form may obtain, for a small fee, a password allowing them to download the registered toolbox. More information about both versions of the DIPUM Toolbox and details on how to obtain them are available at the book web site: http://www.imageprocessingplace.com/DIPUM_Toolbox_2/DIPUM_Toolbox_2.htm Requirements ------------ This release of the DIPUM Toolbox was developed and tested using the R2008b release of MATLAB and the Image Processing Toolbox. The DIPUM Toolbox is not supported for use with earlier versions of MATLAB or the Image Processing Toolbox. Most DIPUM functions require the Image Processing Toolbox. The DIPUM Toolbox works with all MATLAB platforms. It includes one MEX-file (UNRAVEL, which is used for Huffman decoding). Compiled binaries for this MEX-file are provided for all MATLAB platforms. Installation ------------ To install the DIPUM Toolbox, place the folder containing the functions on a local hard drive or a network drive accessible to your computer, and then include the folder location in the MATLAB path. To set the MATLAB path, start MATLAB and then select the File/Set Path menu item. Then select Add Folder. Use the navigation window to select the folder containing the functions. Click OK and then click Save. The functions will then be ready for use within MATLAB. Copyright --------- The DIPUM Toolbox is protected under U.S. and international copyright law.

In particular, you may not place either version of the DIPUM Toolbox on an Internet site, a computer bulletin board, or an anonymous ftp directory from which it could be downloaded or copied by other people.
