Software

MATLAB Code for DXF File Generation: export data to CAD Programs like SolidEdge and AutoCAD.

Numerical Recipes support library

for vector and matrix calculations. This is now available from the official Numerical Recipes site at Harvard.

Little-X Graphics Package

This is a library of functions which provides a nice graphical user interface for a C or C++ program on a PC Computer running under DOS. The library is fully compatible with X-Windows on any Unix computer (IBM, HP, Sun, DEC etc) so programs are portable, with minor restrictions. The library has simple functions and is aimed at the programmer who wants to write quickly. Yet it offers the simulated 3-D controls, mouse operations and multiple overlapping windows now expected by users.

Snakes for Computer Vision

This package (available for Unix, DOS, Windows 3.x, Windows 95 and Windows NT) uses a special machine vision technique adapted for the robot sheep shearing project. The software is available for research and educational users.

This is a very fast technique for locating visual features in an image when you know the approximate feature position and shape. It is very useful for picking out features which people can easily see, but which are very hard for traditional machine vision methods. It is robust, and almost insensitive to image variations such as brightness, contrast, etc.
