    Octave Forge

    Octave Forge

    A collection of packages providing extra functionality for GNU Octave

    Octave Forge is a central location for collaborative development of packages for GNU Octave. The Octave Forge packages expand Octave's core functionality by providing field specific features via Octave's package system. See https://octave.sourceforge.io/packages.php for a list of all available packages. GNU Octave is a high-level interpreted language, primarily intended for numerical computations. It provides capabilities for the numerical solution of linear and nonlinear problems, and for performing other numerical experiments. It also provides extensive graphics capabilities for data visualization and manipulation. Octave is normally used through its interactive command line interface, but it can also be used to write non-interactive programs. The Octave language is quite similar to Matlab so that most programs are easily portable. Refer to https://www.octave.org for more information.

    half

    C++ library for half precision floating point arithmetics.

    This is a C++ header-only library to provide an IEEE-754 conformant half-precision floating point type along with corresponding arithmetic operators, type conversions and common mathematical functions. It aims for both efficiency and ease of use, trying to accurately mimic the behaviour of the builtin floating point types at the best performance possible. It automatically uses and provides C++11 features when possible, but stays completely C++98-compatible when neccessary.

    Open3D

    Open3D

    A modern library for 3D data processing

    Open3D is an open-source library that supports rapid development of software that deals with 3D data. The Open3D frontend exposes a set of carefully selected data structures and algorithms in both C++ and Python. The backend is highly optimized and is set up for parallelization. Open3D was developed from a clean slate with a small and carefully considered set of dependencies. It can be set up on different platforms and compiled from source with minimal effort. The code is clean, consistently styled, and maintained via a clear code review mechanism. Open3D has been used in a number of published research projects and is actively deployed in the cloud. We welcome contributions from the open-source community. GCC 5.X and later on Linux. XCode 10+ and later on OS X 10.14+. Visual Studio 2019 and later on Windows.

    Point Cloud Library

    Point Cloud Library

    A standalone, large scale, open project for 2D/3D image processing

    The Point Cloud Library (PCL) is a standalone, large scale, open project for 2D/3D image and point cloud processing. PCL is released under the terms of the BSD license, and thus free for commercial and research use. Whether you’ve just discovered PCL or you’re a long time veteran, this page contains links to a set of resources that will help consolidate your knowledge on PCL and 3D processing. An additional Wiki resource for developers is available too. To simplify both usage and development, we split PCL into a series of modular libraries. PCL is cross-platform, and has been successfully compiled and deployed on Linux, MacOS, Windows, and Android. To simplify development, PCL is split into a series of smaller code libraries, that can be compiled separately. This modularity is important for distributing PCL on platforms with reduced computational or size constraints.

    Open Asset Import Library

    Open Asset Import Library

    The open-asset-importer-library repository

    The Open Asset Import Library (short name: Assimp) is a portable Open-Source library to import various well-known 3D model formats in a uniform manner. The most recent version also knows how to export 3d files and is therefore suitable as a general-purpose 3D model converter. See the feature-list. open3mod is a Windows-based model viewer. It loads all file formats that Assimp supports and is perfectly suited to quickly inspect 3d assets. Assimp aims to provide a full asset conversion pipeline for use in game engines / realtime rendering systems of any kind, but it is not limited to this purpose. In the past, it has been used in a wide range of applications. Written in C++, it is available under a liberal BSD license. There is a C API as well as bindings to various other languages, including C#, Python and D. Assimp loads all input model formats into one straightforward data structure for further processing.

    Solution and project files for compiling pixman/cairo with Visual Studio 2012 without the need of msys, cygwin or mozilla build tools. Only the pixman/cairo source is needed. The projects compile pixman/cairo into static libraries without additional dependencies, but are easy to modify if you need PDF, SVG or PNG support (in which case you will have to supply libpng and zlib.) No source files from the original projects are included, but will work as-is if you follow the instructions in the readme file. Based on cairo 1.12.16 and pixman 0.32.4. I have no plans on further support unless some files are not added to the project that cause missing external references.

    GLSlayer

    An object oriented 3D graphics API on top of OpenGL

    This project has moved to GitHub: https://github.com/ubershader/GLSlayer OpenGL Sanity Layer is an object-oriented 3D graphics API on top of OpenGL written in C++. It is designed not just to provide an encapsulation of OpenGL objects, but to provide a cleaner and more streamlined interface similar to Direct3D and hide some of OpenGL's weak spots such as bind-to-edit semantics, multiple stage object creation, unavailability of platform independent initialization and loading of extensions to expose features. With GLSlayer it is easy to create a rendering context just by filling a structure and calling a function. All extensions needed to expose features for requested OpenGL version are loaded automatically. The code needed to create, setup and use objects is reduced and made intuitive. It supports OpenGL versions from 3.3 to 4.3, only forward compatible contexts.
