The "Dyrki" project
This was a project we (see the authors list for who's "we") took to
replace practice work for the data structures and algorithms course.
The point of project was to implement
several popular, and, if possible, original image scaling algorithms
and to test their applicability, performance and stuff. We ended up with
13 (!) algorithms, portable core application that runs on all unixes
(only few flavours of Linux tested) and all brands of Win32 (Win98, Win2k
and WinXP tested). Should also run on BeOS, Mac OS and other systems,
but hadn't time to test it.
Here you can find a README file, a source
distribution (download) and a
binary distribution for Win32 platform
(download).
The latest doxygen documentation for the project may be downloaded
here.
We are pretty lazy, so v1.0.1 is not released yet :) But I put a
source code dump (compiles well).
The pluggable factory design pattern is back and running; some cleanups
in GUI code, few bugfixes and small changes. The major change from v1.0.0
to v1.0.1 should come with final release -- a huge improvement to the
preview window.
As you can guess, 13 algorithms, 5 people, overnight coding, lots of
caffeine and good mood can create very exciting images to look at. In
January, 2003 we are going to put on the net all those interesting images
generated by bugs in algorithms. Come back here later, i'll put a link
here.
Errr.. It's May 25 now and we still don't have those pictures on the net :)
This time the laziness has nothing to do with it. Long story :) I hope the
images theirselves aren't lost yet on the heaps of YvL's hard drive and
we'll be able to show them to the public :)
BTW, interesting fact about this project is that the source code for it is
7000 lines (one of my biggest projects to be honest :).
