The Image Processing Extension Pack provides a powerful solution for iterative exploration and investigative analysis. With its extensive image processing, analysis and visualisation capabilities, this Extension Pack is ideal for research scientists and engineers, design engineers, system analysts and image specialists working on imaging or multimedia product development. It is also a valuable tool for students studying electrical engineering or computer sciences.
This robust Extension Pack provides a total of over 140 built-in image processing functions. Among the highlights of this new version are over 50 new functions. Plus, you get an interactive image viewer for easy manipulation, new file formats to make it easier to work with other applications, and expanded document with templates and application examples. And because the Extension Pack becomes part of your Mathcad desktop, you can use it to create publication-quality technical documents, graphs and presentations.
Highlights of the Mathcad Image Processing Extension Pack
- Filtering – denoising of images
- Morphology – to achieve sharper image characterizations for object identification
- Edge Detection – image enhancement for object identification
- Segmentation – for analysing specific regions/clusters of interest
- Feature Extraction – to quantify object features such as length, size, other dimensions
