Please note: This project is work in progress! And as I do this in my spare time besides other interests it will develop steadily but slowly.

Impresario is the acronym for "Image Processing Engineering System Applying Reusable Interactive Objects". It is designed for rapid prototyping of image processing solutions and testing of image processing algorithms within these solutions. Therefore all kind of algorithms Impresario can make use of, are coded in separate libraries.

Everybody with interest in image processing is welcome to develop and hopefully share her own library. A simple C++ API allows to focus on the implementation of the algorithms and hides all the necessary interactions and data exchange between Impresario and the library from the developers.

Detailed information are available on the project's GitHub pages.

However, the GPLv3 does not apply to the libraries containing the image processing algorithms, etc. These libraries may be licensed under any license the library developers choose, even closed source ones.
