Mathcad Add-On Product Family
Image Processing Extension
Pack(version 3)
Examples
The Image Processing Extension
Pack, coupled with Mathcad 12, provides a powerful solution for iterative
exploration and investigative analysis. With its extensive image processing,
analysis and visualization capabilities, this Extension Pack is ideal
for research scientists and engineers, design engineers, system analysts
and image specialists working on imaging or multimedia product development.
It is also a valuable tool for students studying electrical engineering
or computer sciences.
This robust Extension Pack provides a total of over 140 built-in image
processing functions. Among the highlights
of this new version are over 50 new functions. Plus, you get an interactive
image viewer for easy manipulation, new file formats to make it easier
to work with other applications, and expanded document with templates
and application examples. And because the Extension Pack becomes part
of your Mathcad desktop, you can use it to create publication-quality
technical documents, graphs and presentations.
