New image format BPG -- something for ImageMagick to support?
There is a new image file format named BPG ( "Better Portable Graphics" ), developed by Fabrice Bellard (famous for QEMU amongst other things). It supports metadata, alpha channel as well as animations. Here are some infos: http://bellard.org/bpg/ Here is the spec: http://bellard.org/bpg/b...

Re: Remove centered white-transparent Watermark - no copyright infrigment
... all the code can usually be taken literally UNTIL the next "apostroph", no need for escaping. It's already the code itself , that needs the escaping. Even if you wouldn't use PHP, but would type the command into a terminal window running a shell, you'd need blanks around the parenthes...

Are "stroke width transform" and novel "bandlet-based edge detector" something IM could use for text detection in image?
Here is an interesting paper I came acrosss:
http://www.bmva.org/bmvc/2012/BMVC/pape ... per063.pdf
It discusses the use of SWT (stroke width transform) with a novel "bandlet-based edge detector" in order to localize text occurances within images.

Bloom filters and ImageMagick?
Has the concept of exploring bloom filters for image processing (for example to find sub-images in larger ones) ever been explored in relation to ImageMagick?

Re: EPS conversion aborted
The new replacement devices are called ps2write and eps2write . These generate the more efficient PostScript Level 2. Is ImageMagick aware of these changes, when installing/defining delegates? We are talking about reading a pdf file not writing. Not sure what this has to do with this topic. You are...

Re: EPS conversion aborted
Ghostscript developers have deprecated the two traditional devices pswrite and epswrite quite a while ago. These used to generate PostScript Level 1. I'm not sure if they already completely removed support for these in Ghostscript v9.15 (that you seem to be using). The new replacement devices are ca...

I do not see any advantage when pre -filtering with kuwahara, having now tried it as per your suggestion...

Re: Using ImageMagick to process fingerprint photos
Deskewing would be harder: find the finger's edge, find the least-curved part of that, and this defines the angle (in this case, roughly south-west to north-east). Not very hard (Windows BAT script): %IM%convert fingerprint-1024x575.jpg ^ -threshold 20%% ^ -canny 0x1+10%%+30%% ^ -background none -f...

Re: Using ImageMagick to process fingerprint photos
"-lat" does a good first cut, I'd say. convert fingerprint-1024x575.jpg -colorspace gray -lat 15x15+0 fl.png Whoahhh! That's already a pretty good approximation! (I had thought that getting the lines in black and white would be the most difficult part...) I haven't used or played with loc...
