ImLab is a free open source graphical application for Scientific Image Processing.

It supports multiple windows, data types including 32 bit integers, 32 bit real numbers and complex numbers. It is implemented in C++ and also in C to provide a very simple way to add new functions.

This application features many image operations and supports several file formats.

Here are some key features of "ImLab":
