[Pkg-phototools-devel] Bug#777000: ITP: limereg -- Lightweight Image Registration. Commandline application for image registration (automatically aligning two images with similar content).

[Andreas Tille]

Hi Roelof,

this sounds pretty interesting.  Since I see some scientific application
I added limereg-dev (assuming that the development library will be named
that way) to Debian Science imaging and Debian Med imaging-dev tasks.

I wonder whether it might make sense to maintain the package inside the
Debian Science team or alternatively the Debian Phototools team (both
teams in CC)

Kind regards and thanks for this interesting ITP

  Andreas.
