DotImaging - .NET array as imaging object
The framework sets focus on .NET native array as primary imaging object, offers extensibility support via extensions, and provides unified platform-abstract imaging IO API.

• leverages existing .NET structures
• portable - designed for ASP.NET vNext
• lightweight (no 3rd party dependencies), but powerful
• so simple, you don't need a help file

• DotImaging.GenericImage
  .NET image array extensions. Color and depth conversions. Slim unmanaged structure for fast pixel manipulation.

  Tutorial: Portable Generic Image (update pending)

//convert to grayscale and flip
Bgr<byte> image = ImageIO.LoadColor("sample.jpg").Clone();
Gray<byte> grayIm = image.ToGray()
                            .Flip(FlipDirection.Horizontal);

• DotImaging.IO
  A unified API for IO image access (camera, file, image directory). Portable image loading/saving.

  Tutorial: Portable Imaging IO (update pending)

//create camera (file or image-directory) capture
var reader = new CameraCapture();

reader.Open();

//read single frame
var frame = reader.ReadAs<Bgr<byte>>();

reader.Close();

• DotImaging.Linq
  2D array Linq extensions

//create a managed image
Bgr<byte>[,] image = ...; 

//get the modified blue channel 
var modifiedImage = image.AsEnumerable()
                            .Select(x => x.B / 2)
   						 .ToArray2D(image.Size());

• DotImaging.Drawing
  .NET image drawing array extensions.

//create a managed image
var image = new Bgr<byte>[480, 640];

//draw something
image.Draw(new Rectangle(50, 50, 200, 100), Bgr<byte>.Red, -1);
image.Draw(new Circle(50, 50, 25), Bgr<byte>.Blue, 5);

• DotImaging.BitmapInterop
  Interoperability extensions between .NET array and Bitmap.

var image = new Gray<byte>[240, 320];
var bmp = image.ToBitmap(); //to Bitmap

var imageFromBmp = bmp.ToArray() as Bgr<byte>[,]; //from Bitmap

• DotImaging.Primitives2D
  Portable 2D drawing primitives (Point, Size, Rectangle, ...)

• Just pick what you need. An appropriate readme file will be shown upon selected NuGet package installation.
• Each project in "Source" has a short readme
• Samples

The framework is the foundation of Accord.NET Extensions which exposes a full power of Accord.NET through extensions!

Remember: Your opinion is important and will define the future roadmap.

• spread the word

If you like the project please star it in order to help to spread the word. That way you will make the framework more significant and in the same time you will motivate me to improve it, so the benefit is mutual.
