Image, video, and 3D visualization extensions in the Digital Image Processing application package.

This paper presents current efforts in extending the Digital Image Processing application package by linking it to external libraries using J/Link and Java. Native Mathematica code has been augmented with Java Advanced Imaging, a 2D image processing library, and Java Media Framework, a Java package for manipulation of time-based media such as audio and video. 3D image processing and visualization capabilities were also added to DIP by using the Visualization Toolkit, which is an open-source, object-oriented software system that supports 3D/2D graphics, visualization, image processing and volume rendering.
