Iris is an interface into the ir-tools. The ir-tools are a powerful set of tools that can perform image registration. Usually, these tools are used with data coming from a microscope, but have been tested and work well in various applications, such as morphing faces and mosaicking landscapes.
The current stable build of the tools can be found at http://www.ucnia.org. Iris is seeing many improvements day by day and quickly changes from its stable release. As such we also supply a nightly build that can be found at http://www.sci.utah.edu/~bgrimm/nightly .
Iris has an installer, simplifying the process. The tools will be installed straight to the disk and run without any other worry. Note: Iris does require a 64-bit operating system to run.
Iris now can be run. But without data there isn't much to see. Head on over to our - Samples page for a few demos and datasets, or feel free to start building your own.
Currently Iris uses ImageMagick to generate the pyramid as well as python to run a few of it's tools. Since no installer is provided with Iris these must be installed and working to guarantee that Iris can run all of its tools.
Howto videos about Iris are published to youtube: http://www.youtube.com/user/snard6?feature=mhum
As more videos are generated explaining Iris usage they will be added to the above channel. We encourage you to subscribe to receive updates about the tools.
Now that you understand Iris a little better, it's time to move on to making Iris support your data and tools. The following pages have been set up to help users who are ready to fully customize Iris and unleash its potential.
