Data objects

Matrix; impulse response array; dither array; morphological structuring element array; histogram; lookup table; Fourier filter; power spectrum; windowing function.

Region-of-interest

Image-associated ROI processing control; rectangular, coordinate, elliptical and polygon ROIs; multi-band ROIs; ROI geometric processing.

Operators

 Analysis (accumulator, difference measures, extrema, histogram, Hough transform, line profile, moments, value bounds); classification (Bayes, nearest neighbor); color (linear color conversion, nonlinear color conversion, subtractive color conversion, interpolated color lookup, luminance generation); complex image (composition, conjugate, decomposition, magnitude); correlation (cross-correlation, template match); edge detection (orthogonal gradient, second derivative, template gradient); ensemble (alpha blend constant, alpha blend variable, dyadic arithmetic, dyadic complex, dyadic logical, dyadic predicate, split image, Z merge);  feature extraction (label objects, Laws texture features, window statistics); filtering (2D convolution, 5D convolution, homomorphic, linear, median, pseudomedian, rank order); geometric(Cartesian-to-polar, polar-to-Cartesian, flip, spin and transpose, rescale, resize, rotate, subsample, translate, control point warp, lookup table warp, polynomial warp, zoom); histogram shape (1D, 2D); morphological (Boolean erosion or dilation, grayscale erosion or dilation, fill region, hit or miss transformation, morphic processor, morphology, neighbor count, open and close); pixel modification (draw pixels, paint pixels); point (bit shift, complement, error function scaling, gamma correction, histogram scaling, level slice, lookup, monadic arithmetic, complex and logical, noise combination, power law scaling, rubber band scaling, threshold, unitary integer and real, window-level); presentation (diffuse, dither); shape (perimeter code generator, shape metrics, invariant spatial moments, scaled spatial moments); unitary transform (cosine, Fourier, Hadamard and Hartley); 3D specific ( sequence average, sequence Karhunen-Loeve, sequence running measures, 3D slice).
