if 0 {Richard Suchenwirth 2003-08-02 - This weekend I made another old wish come true - not only to read about image processing, but to try it hands-on. Tcl is not the fastest in heavy number-crunching, as needed when going over many thousands of pixels, but I wouldn't consider C for a fun project ;) So take your time, or get a real CPU. At least you can watch the progress, as the target image is updated after every row.

(Graylevel; Contrast+; gray2color)
The demo UI shows two images, the original on the left, the processing result on the right. You can push the result to the left with Options/Accept. See the menus for what goodies I have supplied. But what most interested me were "convolutions", for which you can edit the matrix (fixed at 3x3 - slow enough..) and click "Apply" to run it over the input image. "C" to set the matrix to all zeroes.
Convolution is a technique where a target pixel is colored according to the sum of the product of a given matrix and its neighbors. As an example, the convolution matrix
1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
colors the pixel in the middle with the average of itself and its eight neighbors, which will myopically blur the picture.
0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0
should just faithfully repeat the input picture. These
0 -1 0 -1 -1 -1 -1 5 -1 or: -1 9 -1 0 -1 0 -1 -1 -1
enhance {horizont,vertic}al edges, and make the image look "crispier". }
