Brief description
-----------------

This codes implements the cartoon+texture decomposition using the
algorithm published in IPOL (www.ipol.im).
The method is also linked to the following publication
A. Buades, J.L. Lisani, “Directional filters for color cartoon + texture 
image and video decomposition”, Journal of Mathematical Imaging and Vision, 2015

library/libCartoon.h

Auxiliary functions are implemented in
library/libBasic.cpp
library/libBasic.h
library/libImage.cpp

Makefile for compilation:
makefile

Test image:
test.png


===============================================================================
== Compilation (Linux) ========================================================

To compile

Type

make

in the directory where the makefile is located.


For parallel execution using OMP directives (much faster, recommended):

make OMP=1



===============================================================================
== Example of use =======================================================

Get cartoon+texture decomposition of test image with scale factor 2
and adding isotropic filter (flag -i) to the bank of filters:

src_cartoon_plus_texture_newdirectional -i test.png cartoon.png texture.png 2
