Image Apprentice is a C/C++ based Image Processing Learner?s Toolkit. Students use it as a companion to their favourite Image Processing Textbook. It allows one to use self-written image processing algorithms as plugins.

It comes with a Plugin Development Kit (PDK) that has a skeleton code having a simple coding style. A student who has attended a 101-level course in C/C++ programming is well-equipped to write an Image Processing plugin for Image Apprentice using Visual C++.

Nightly build of 'ia.exe' is the version that is being continuously updated at the lab. It is expected to be more rebust/bug-free. You may replace it with the one you are currently using.

Note: Nightly builds are done for the the Image Apprentice Application only. The Plugin Development Kit (PDK) is bug-free. You just have to replace your 'ia.exe' file with the nightly build and the old/previous plugins are usable with it.
