Because the resulting object can be very large +for even modestly sized TIFF images, images can be reduced as they +are read for improved performance. This package is a wrapper around +libtiff (www.libtiff.org), on which it depends (i.e. the libtiff +shared library must be on your PATH for the binary to work, and +tiffio.h must be on your system to build the package from source). +By using libtiff's highlevel TIFFReadRGBAImage function, this package +inherently support a wide range of image formats and compression +schemes. This package also provides an implementation of the Ridler +Autothresholding algorithm for easy generation of binary masks. + +WWW: http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/rtiff/ |
