How To Install vspline-dev on Ubuntu 18.04
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install vspline-dev on Ubuntu 18.04.
What is vspline-dev
vspline-dev is:
vspline aims to be as fast as possible, it’s main focus is processing of bulk data, especially images. vspline can create b-splines of:
- real data types and their aggregates
- coming in strided n-dimensional memory
- spline order up to 24
- arbitrary dimensions of the spline
- with a reasonable selection of boundary conditions
- with implicit or explicit scheme of extrapolation
on the evaluation side it provides:
- evaluation of the spline at point locations
- evaluation of the spline’s derivatives
- fast specializations for nearest neighbour and linear interpolation
- mapping of arbitrary coordinates into the defined range
- evaluation of n-dimensional arrays of coordinates (‘remap’ function)
- functor-based transform and apply functions
- set of functional constructs to facilitate evaluation
data handling is done with vigra data types. vspline optionally uses horizontal vectorization with Vc. coefficient generation and remap routines are multithreaded.
There are three methods to install vspline-dev on Ubuntu 18.04. We can use apt-get, apt and aptitude. In the following sections we will describe each method. You can choose one of them.
Install vspline-dev Using apt-get
