A new release has been prepared that includes a lot of changes: new programs for doing a fuzzy cmeans classification on sparse input data, combining an abitrary number of images with an comutative operation, estimating a bounding box around the data in an image, applying a deformabale model to a mesh, and evaluating statistics in a masked area of an 3d image.
New mesh and image filters are provided, amongst them a 2D max-flow/min-cut segmentation filter.
The file compression tools that are used transparently can now make use of parallelized implementations like pigz instead of gzip .
Important changes for programming with MIA include the replacement of the bounded parameter by the ranged parameter that can also use open and half-open intervals for range definition. Some third party libraries like libxml++, eigen3, and boost/filesystem are no longer visible in the public interface of MIA, which reduces link-time dependencies for third party programs linking against MIA.
Finally, in order to achive reproducable builds. time stamps have been removed from the library and user documentation.
