Hello all,
Perhaps a bit sacriligious for this audience, but I was curious if
anyone here has any experience with the relationship between IDL and
JAI (Java Advanced Imaging) capability. I have only recently started
working with IDL and have some experience with JAVA so I was looking
into the IDL/JAVA bridge (especially so I could use JDBC for access to
my SQL database). Along the way I found the following documents about
Java's Advanced Imaging utilities that reproduce much of the
functionality I'm looking for in IDL.
Java's own web site:
http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/jai/
The UK based starlink project that uses JAI for some of its imaging:
http://star-www.rl.ac.uk/
What looks like a nice introductory book on using JAI:
http://www.awprofessional.com/catalog/product.asp?product_id ={7095C126-21A5-4094-A931-551CA6D5F38D}&session_id={CDE0 88A3-139A-4348-A478-B1177BC8CCAC}
Does anyone have any experience with this set of packages? If the
capability is the same, I'm apt to choose JAI since it limits the
number of languages in my project and keeps me to a real
object-oriented framework. However, I worry it doesn't include some
of the functionality I may need and I have no experience with the
library -- can it be as good as it sounds?
[Oh, and my project deals primarily with large images that are warped,
added and divided, selected with an ROI, etc. I'd like the interface
to be nice for the users.]
Any insight is greatly appreciated.
Best wishes,
stephen
