Functional Description
Shiver is a Scientific HDR Image Viewer with a convenient GUI. It features fast display / zoom OpenGL capabilities, the comparison of several images in different tabs, LDR, HDR, and raw-support through a plugin architecture, and more.
In addition, Shiver is an image processing program providing the ability to execute algorithms that are programmed as plugins on one or more images. Different frontends like the command line or a QT-based graphical user interface are available. Depending on the frontend different work flows are possible.
The console frontend can be used, if no X11 server is available or a large number of images have to be processed. The QT Gui allows for intuitive work and a test of processing plugins. It allows for example pixel picking and a comfortable way to compare different processed images.
Available Shiver plugins implement, e.g., the CalTag system for automatically detecting checkerboard corners in camera calibration images.
