LibVideoGfx - video processing library

Copyright (C) 1999-2014 Dirk Farin

===============================================================================

INTRODUCTION

LibVideoGfx is a C++ library for low-level video processing. It aims at speeding up the development process for image and video processing applications by providing high-level classes for commonly required tasks. The library comprises support for:

- basic image data classes
- color-space convertion for RGB, YUV, HSV
- drawing primitives (lines, circles, ...)
- image manipulation (scaling, pixel-ops, convolution)
- file-IO (ppm, yuv, jpeg, png, mpeg, V4L-grabbing)
- X11 image display (including Xv-extension support)

Furthermore, it includes support for:

- bit-stream reading/writing
- commonly used container classes (dynamic array, heap, queue, ...)
- processor feature detection

LibVideoGfx includes MMX accelerated routines, which are used if an MMX capable processor is detected. However, the library provides scalar replacement routines and can thus be compiled on all UNIX platforms (including CygWin).

JPEG file access requires the libjpeg. If this library cannot be detected during library configuration, JPEG support is disabled. The MPEG reader depends on the DVDview MPEG decoding program.
