[SIP-announce] SIP is worth over 1Milion according to OHLOH

[Ricardo F. <ric...@us...>]

Hi, all,

SIP recently has passed beyond the 1 milion price tag according to a
fun estimate by OHLOH.

SIP has been very actively developed in the past months, as I have
comitted to not use Matlab in my research.

The current version of SIP is 0.8.0 and is released in Git.  We are
currently making releases by tagging in Git, since this reduces the
bureaucracy of packaging. Once in a while I will release packaged
source code, but most of the time the Git master branch will be stable
for use and be actively supported.

The highlights are:

- OpenCV support (optional)
- New state-of-the-art and useful algorithms for computing the
distance transform up to a given maximum distance.
- Fast Euclidean Mathematical Morphology - fast dilation, erosion,
closing, opening, etc, using Euclidean disks as structuring elements
- Illustrated documentation (work in progress)
- Many other improvements throughout


Best,
Ricardo Fabbri
