two appendixes that list supported image attributes and operation modes

and describe interpolation algorithms used in the library.

Function Descriptions

In Chapters 3 through 14, each function is introduced by name (without the

ipl prefix) and a brief description of its purpose. This is followed by the

function call sequence, more detailed description of the function’s purpose,

and definitions of its arguments. The following sections are included in

each function description:

performed by the function. Often, code examples

and the equations the function implements are

Audience for This Manual

The manual is intended for the developers of image processing applications

and image processing libraries. Both parts of the audience are expected to

be experienced in using C and to have a working knowledge of the

vocabulary and principles of image processing. The developers of image

processing software can use the Image Processing Library capabilities to

improve performance on the latest generations of processors.
