Strongly-Typed Reflection

Fri, 07 Jul 2006 08:21:01 GMT

Ayende Rahien presents a solution for strongly-typed reflection. - "I refactor a lot, and I just hate it when everything compiles okay, and then things breaks on runtime. I think that static reflection will enable writing amazing code. The functionality is already built into the CLR (check the ldtoken/ldftn IL instructions and friends). It didn't make it into the 2.0 release, but I hope that it will be in the next release. In the meantime, the 2.0 Reflection has been optimized, so that is what we have for now. But it's not enough for me. ..."

Image Processing Lab in C#

Wed, 28 Jun 2006 03:33:01 GMT

Image Processing Lab is a simple tool for image processing, which includes different filters and tools to analyze images. It's easy to develop your own filters and to integrate them with the code or to use the tools in your own application. The following filters are implemented in the library: Color filters (grayscale, sepia, invert, rotate, channel extraction, channel replacing, channel filtering, color filtering, Euclidean color filtering); HSL filters (linear correction, brightness, contrast, saturation, hue modifier, HSL filtering); YCbCr filters (linear correction, YCbCr filtering, channel extraction/replacement); Binarization filters (threshold, threshold with carry, ordered dithering, Bayer dithering, Floyd-Steinberg, Burkes, Jarvis-Judice-Ninke, Sierra, Stevenson-Arce, Stucki dithering methods); Automatic binarization (simple image statistics); Mathematical morphology filters (erosion, dilatation, opening, closing, hit & miss, thinning, thickening); Convolution filters (mean, blur, sharpen, edges, Gaussian); 2 Source filters (merge, intersect, add, subtract, difference, move towards, morph); Edge detectors (homogeneity, difference, sobel, canny); Blob counter, connected components labeling; Pixellate, simple skeletonization, jitter, shrink, oil painting; Levels linear filter, gamma correction; Median filter, adaptive smoothing, conservative smoothing; Resize and rotate; Texture generators based on Perlin noise; Texture filters (texturer, textured filtering, textured merging); Fourier transformation (lowpass and hipass filters).
