[SIP-devel] new development version

[Ricardo F. <rf...@if...>]

Hi, all,

a new SIP development version is out. This release brings us many fast
exact euclidean distance transform algorithms, such as Olivier
Cuisenaire's  (1999) and  Calvin Maurer's (2003). These are faster
than all previous algorithms available in SIP, and are probably the
best anywhere.

Download the new version at:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=68055&package_id=67061&release_id=213035


ChangeLog
   + Works with Animal 0.10.1
   + New extremely fast euclidean distance tranform algorithms were added to
   bwdist: Olivier Cuisenaire's algorithm (CVIU 1999) and Calvin Maurer's
   algorithm (PAMI 2003). These seem to be the fastest exact methods available!
   There is also a nice example in the help page for "bwdist".

Compilation and installation is suited for Linux, but should work
correctly in other unix systems. I myself use Slackware Linux 9.1
Please report to the list any problems that you see with SIP in other distros.

First please install the new AnImaL 0.10.1:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=75126&package_id=75574&release_id=212997

You shall install the new SIP and Animal version over the older ones
without problems, but if you want, you can remove the old version like
this: in the unix shell, change dir to the old SIP-dev or Animal then type the
following:

prompt# make uninstall

You may now install the new versions as usual.

best regards,
Ricardo.
