2. SIVP-0.5.0 from http://sivp.sourceforge.net/
I am using this package as the core for the image processing as this toolbox supports lastest version of SCILAB in Windows.
3. SIP Toolbox from http://siptoolbox.sourceforge.net/
As this toolbox do not have the binaries for Windows, but it has a lot of useful functions. Hence, I use the macros from this toolbox especially the morphology functions which is very useful!
4. ANN Toolbox from http://www.scilab.org.cn/?q=node/11
This is a toolbox created by students in SCILAB Contest 2006. There is another toolbox which I believe is more powerful, however, more syntax when calling the functions. So I use this for the simplicity.
Installation Steps:
1. Download and Install Scilab 5.1 from http://www.scilab.org/download/index_download.php?page=release#windows
2. Download and install SIVP-0.5.0 from http://sivp.sourceforge.net/
3. Download ANN Toolbox from http://www.scilab.org.cn/files/2006scilabcontest/ANN_Toolbox.rar
Install the toolbox by placing the folder under SCILAB\contrib
4. Download the code from HERE, which contains the macro from SIP toolbox, thanks sip developmet team (http://sivp.sourceforge.net/ ), and Install the toolbox by placing the folder under SCILAB\contrib
in which SCILAB is the installation path for the toolbox.
5. Launch Scilab, on the toolbox menu, click on the installed toolbox in sequence:
a. ANN_Toolbox (a GUI will pop up, just close it)
b. SIVP -0.5.0
c. siptoolbox
notes: make sure the siptoobox is clicked after SIVP, as there are some functions overlapping between 2, and we are using later.
