## [Images.jl](https://juliaimages.org/latest/)

Images.jl is an open-source image processing library for [Julia](http://julialang.org/) and is maintained by [JuliaImages](https://github.com/JuliaImages) community. It is one of the oldest packages in the Julia ecosystem, and its code-origins predate the existence of both the package manager and Julia 0.1 .

Images.jl is increasingly becoming an “umbrella package” that exports a [set of packages](https://juliaimages.org/latest/pkgs/) which are useful for common image processing tasks. Most of these packages are hosted at [JuliaImages](https://github.com/JuliaImages), [JuliaArrays](https://github.com/JuliaArrays), [JuliaIO](https://github.com/JuliaIO), [JuliaGraphics](https://github.com/JuliaGraphics), and [JuliaMath](https://github.com/JuliaMath).

Packages that Images.jl currently reexports are:

- ImageCore
- ImageBinarization
- ImageTransformations
- ImageAxes
- ImageCorners
- ImageMetadata
- ImageFiltering
- ImageMorphology
- ImageDistances
- ImageContrastAdjustment
- ImageQualityIndexes
- IntegralArrays
- ImageSegmentation

These packages serve various purposes from filtering, morphology, quality indexes, segmentation etc.

### Images.jl v0.26 is out

- Update to [ImageMorphology 0.4](https://github.com/JuliaImages/ImageMorphology.jl/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#version-v040), a major upgrade compared to v0.3.
- Update to [ImageCore 0.10](https://github.com/JuliaImages/ImageCore.jl/blob/master/NEWS.md#0100) which has minor breaking changes in `clamp01` and `abs2` (via [ColorVectorSpace](https://github.com/JuliaGraphics/ColorVectorSpace.jl#abs-and-abs2)).
- Add [ImageBinarization](https://github.com/JuliaImages/ImageBinarization.jl), which contributes many new options for binarization compared to previous releases of Images.
- As part of the ongoing work to make Images.jl purely a “meta package” that bundles functionality from focused packages, migrate corner-related algorithms to [ImageCorners](https://github.com/JuliaImages/ImageCorners.jl).
- Remove deprecations from previous version Images.jl v0.25

With this update, we are closer than ever to becoming a true meta package.
