Software preparation¶
During this course you will develop code in Matlab using the DIPimage package. This manual helps with the installation and configuration of these packages and services.
All packages are available for Windows, macOS and Linux.
You will also need the default image set which can be retrieved via this link.
Matlab installation¶
Matlab is a programming platform designed specifically for engineers and scientists. The heart of Matlab is the Matlab language, a matrix-based language allowing the most natural expression of computational mathematics (from what is matlab). You need to have a recent version of Matlab installed on your computer (newer than 2018a). This can be done via the instructions for Matlab on this site:
Matlab Toolboxes
Please install the Wavelet toolbox. We do not need additional toolboxes.
Alternatively you can contact the servicedesk at this e-mail servicepunttnw@tudelft.nl for more help.
Warning
The registration and installation process can take some time (> 1h)! Make sure you plan the installation of Matlab in advance of the course.
DIPimage installation¶
For the advanced image processing you will use the DIPimage package. DIPimage is a Matlab toolbox for quantitative image analysis, built on DIPlib. It is a mature toolbox, and offers much more than access to DIPlib from within Matlab. It includes a GUI and an interactive image display that can be used to explore 1D, 2D, 3D and 4D images. This package must be installed on your computer.
Windows¶
Follow the instructions and download the dipimage_3.2_windows_fftw.zip file from this location:
You can also compile the library yourself from the source. Follow the instructions for Windows on this location:
While you’re at it, have a look at the DIPimage Users Manual. This manual will give you a good understanding of the workings of this package needed for this course.
macOS¶
There is no installer package for macOS. You need to build (compile) your own version of DIPimage on your computer. Please read the instructions here.
Linux¶
There is no installer package for Linux. You need to build (compile) your own version of DIPimage on your computer. Please read the instructions here.
