This is the pano13 library, part of the Panorama Tools by Helmut
Dersch of the University of Applied Sciences Furtwangen.
Also included with the library are:
- PTOptimizer, a command-line tool for optimizing control points.
- panoinfo, a command-line tool for querying the library version.
The panorama tools are mainly used to build panoramic images from a set of
overlapping images. The usability extends beyond "just" building panoramas by
far though. You can, for instance, use them to render an average of multiple
images to broaden the dynamic range of the images or average out noise. You
can also build object movies with them, morph between images and much more.
libpotrace is a libraru for Peter Selinger's GPLed utility
for tracing bitmaps, converting them into smooth, scalable images.
projectM is an awesome music visualizer. There is nothing better in the world
of Unix. projectM's greatness comes from the hard work of the community. Users
like you can create presets that connect music with incredible visuals. Try it!
Spiro is the creation of Raph Levien. It simplifies the drawing of beautiful
curves.
Using bezier splines an artist can easily draw curves with the same slope on
either side of an on-curve point. Spiros, on the other hand, are based on
clothoid splines which make it easy to maintain constant curvature as well as
constant slope. Such curves will simply look nicer.
Raph Levien's spiro splines only use on-curve points and so are easier to use
and more intuitive to the artist.
This library will take an array of spiro control points and convert them into a
series of bezier splines which can then be used in the myriad of ways the world
has come to use beziers.

Libvisual is an abstraction library that comes between applications and audio
visualisation plugins.
Often when it comes to audio visualisation plugins or programs that create
visuals, they depend on a player or something else; basically, there is no
general framework that enabled application developers to easily access cool
audio visualisation plugins. Libvisual wants to change this by providing an
interface towards plugins and applications; through this easy to use interface
applications can easily access plugins and, since the drawing is done by the
application, it also enables the developer to draw the visual anywhere he
wants.
The framework also allows you to morph to different plugins and mix two at
once; all kinds of neat tricks are possible using this method.

Library for importing and converting Corel WordPerfect(tm) Graphics images
The Unidentified Flying Raw (UFRaw) is a utility to read and manipulate raw
images from digital cameras. It can be used on its own or as a Gimp plug-in.
It reads raw images using Dave Coffin's raw conversion utility -- DCRaw.
UFRaw supports basic color management using Little CMS, allowing the user to
apply color profiles. For Nikon users UFRaw has the advantage that it can
read the camera's tone curves. Even if you don't own a Nikon, you can still
apply a Nikon curve to your images.
LPROF is the only open source ICC profiler with a graphical user
interface. It can be used to create ICC version 2 compliant profiles
for cameras, scanners and monitors. As such it fills a necessary
niche in the emerging open source color management effort.
Scan Tailor is an interactive post-processing tool for scanned pages.
It performs operations such as page splitting, deskewing, and removing
garbage. All operations can be done automatically, however it's still
possible to manually correct their results
