<h1>Overview</h1>
<h2>DESCRIPTION<a href="#_top"><img alt=^ src="up.png" border=0 /></a></h2>
<div class=box><p><strong>
 This toolbox is meant to facilitate the manipulation of images and
 video in Matlab. Its purpose is to complement, not replace, Matlab's Image
 Processing Toolbox, and in fact it requires that the Matlab Image Toolbox
 be installed. Emphasis has been placed on code efficiency and
 code reuse.  Thanks to everyone who has given me feedback --
 you've helped make this toolbox more useful and easier to use.
