Boost.GIL
A C++14 header-only library providing generic image representations and algorithms with performance close to hand-written code.
What is Boost.GIL?
Boost.GIL is a C++14 header-only library that provides generic abstractions for image representations and algorithms. It allows developers to write image processing code that is independent of specific image types, such as pixel format or memory layout, while maintaining performance similar to hand-optimized, type-specific implementations. The library is part of the Boost C++ Libraries and promotes reusable, type-safe image manipulation.
C++ developers working on image processing, computer vision, or graphics applications who need performant, generic, and reusable code for handling various image formats and operations.
Developers choose Boost.GIL for its ability to write generic image algorithms that work across multiple image types without performance penalties, its header-only design for easy integration, and its strong alignment with C++ generic programming principles within the trusted Boost ecosystem.
