vimt : Polymorphic image + transform library

Provides a set of image classes, derived from vimt_image, which can be used as `registered views' on actual image data.

The vimt classes use vil_image_view to provide that actual 2d images, and a vimt_transform_2d object to provide the registration.

The most commonly used classes are likely to be vimt_image_2d_of<T> and vimt3d_image_3d_of<T> templated multi-plane images.

Image Pyramids

Image pyramids (vimt_image_pyramid) are stacks of images, assumed to have lower resolution as one goes up the stack.

They can be build using vimt_image_pyramid_builder objects such as

Sampling

Profiles can be sampled using vimt_sample_profile_bilin

Expansion

There is nothing to stop you using the basic vimt_image class to provide your own 2d image class. Two possible reasons for this would be to use a much more general transform type, or to use a vil_image_resource as the underlying image type.
