Hello,<br>
<br>
I'm new to Debian packaging and I want to add my application
'limereg' to the Debian repository. This offers unique high
performance, yet versatile, image registration, which was created in
cooperation with a scientific institute (Fraunhofer). The final goal
is to add it to Imagemagick. In this e-mail I'm kindly asking for a
Debian sponsor.<br>

<br>
Image registration, in case this is new to you, is the process of
aligning two or more images of the same scene taken at di fferent
times, from di ferent viewpoints and/or by di ferent sensors. An
input image will be (e.g.) shifted and rotated automatically to be
aligend to a reference image. A popular use case is HDR fotography,
where several images with different exposure times are overlayed.
When the images differ slightly the shift and rotation between each
other has to be eliminated - which is possible by image
registration. There are, however, countless other applications also.<br>
<br>
My roadmap:<br>
1) Add the limereg command line utility to to Debian, if possible<br>
2) Add the liblimereg library to Debian. (Offers the same
functionality - but as a shared lib)<br>
3) Add limereg to Imagemagick (liblimereg will be detected by
configure)<br>
4) Then, finally, you guys can add liblimereg as a prerequisite for
your Imagemagick package, and ... ta da ... have image registration
available in your Imagemagick distribution.<br>

I hope, this sequence/roadmap makes any sence. Again, open source
contribution is new to me. I'm a professional programmer since
1997 and I'm willing to put effort into this. But I need a Debian
Sponsor.<br>
<br>

Roelof<br>
