00061  * \section over Overview
00062  * \par
00063  * IM is a toolkit for Digital Imaging. 
00064  * \par
00065  * It provides support for image capture, several image file formats and many image processing operations. 
00066  * \par
00067  * Image representation includes scientific data types (like IEEE floating point data) 
00068  * and attributes (or metadata like GeoTIFF and Exif tags).
00069  * Animation, video and volumes are supported as image sequences, 
00070  * but there is no digital audio support.
00071  * \par
00072  * The main goal of the library is to provide a simple API and abstraction
00073  * of images for scientific applications.
00074  * \par
00075  * The toolkit API is written in C. 
00076  * The core library source code is implemented in C++ and it is very portable, 
00077  * it can be compiled in Windows and UNIX with no modifications. 
00078  * New image processing operations can be implemented in C or in C++.
00079  * \par
00080  * IM is free software, can be used for public and commercial applications.
00081  * \par
00082  * This work was developed at Tecgraf/PUC-Rio 
00083  * by means of the partnership with PETROBRAS/CENPES.
