Image processing and analysis are generally seen as operations on
two-dimensional arrays of values. There are however a number of fields
where images of higher dimensionality must be analyzed. Good examples
of these are medical imaging and biological imaging. numarray
is suited very well for this type of applications due its inherent
multi-dimensional nature. The numarray.nd_image packages
provides a number of general image processing and analysis functions
that are designed to operate with arrays of arbitrary dimensionality.
The packages currently includes functions for linear and non-linear
filtering, binary morphology, B-spline interpolation, and object
measurements.
