I am TAing a class on Computer Vision and Robotics. We want to do some image processing projects on Macs. The instructor has asked me to find or develop software that will take .pict files (or .tif or .gif) and treat them as numeric arrays. For example we want to open an image file and have returned a structure containing the number of rows, columns and a 2-D array of gray level values. We will also want to save arrays in a standard format. Does software exist for doing this sort of thing? Can anyone give me a good reference for understanding these formats and writing my own routines? We have plenty of software to visualize the images, so that doesn't seem to be a problem. Thanks in Advance, Stu Hansen
