The IRIS source code

Current releases

The most current release of IRIS is intended to be as stable as possible, but no more. The "no more" clause refers to the fact that there are some parts of IRIS which are being used as stopgap measures in place of the final product/code that will actually be used.

The most notable example is the current version of IRIS Runtime and its associated Scorpio command line editor. IRIS Runtime is projected to be more streamlined and better-behaved; Scorpio will be replaced by a much nicer scripting language (promise :-) Similarly Osiris is still under development. They are included in this release for completeness only. Use them at your own risk!

The problem of portability has been solved since the Linux version compiles nicely under Windows (tested on Dev-C++ 4.0 and Dev-C++ 4.9.5). Also, note that the stable release does not have the GHT (Generalised Hough Trandform) engine yet.

For those who want the latest code, there is always the Bleeding Edge Version. Currently, it features the updated versions of the buffer and buffer accessor classes, plus the (preliminary) Generalised Hough Transform (GHT) engine. This version makes no claims to safety at all, but use it by all means, if you wish to.

Older releases

Below is stuff that is a little older, without any experimental namespaces but definitely useable. If you do not intend to use IRIS' newest features (which are not finalised anyway), I'd recommend the downloads below. You'll find these useful if you specifically intend to use IRIS as a base for dedicated image processing operations.

Linux (note: older code!)

Due to some radical restructuring of the source code, I haven't found time for updating the Linux distribution of IRIS. Consequently, the Linux IRIS source is restricted to IRIS-XT only excluding quadtree segmentation.

Windows (note: older code!)

The older version of IRIS (includes IRIS Foundation, IRIS-XT and IRIS-3D) is available for download. However, please note that this has not been tested on any C++ compiler other than MingW compiler, i.e. Dev-C++ 4.0, since the Windows version is only for my convenience.
