for questions related to the VIGRA Computer Vision Library
VIGRA stands for "Vision with Generic Algorithms". It's an image processing and analysis library that puts its main emphasis on customizable algorithms and data structures. VIGRA is especially strong for multi-dimensional images, because many algorithms (e.g. filters, feature computation, superpixels) are implemented for arbitrary high dimensions. By using template techniques similar to those in the C++ Standard Template Library, you can easily adapt any VIGRA component to the needs of your application, without thereby giving up execution speed. As of version 1.7.1, VIGRA also provides extensive Python bindings on the basis of the popular numpy framework.
VIGRA was originally designed and implemented by Ullrich Köthe.
