The "Image_Framework" MS Visual Studio 2008 solution (Image_Framework.sln) contains 5 projects out of which only "Framework_Tester" contains our source code. * The rest of projects are provided with header files and lib's only (the .cpp are private). * They are already compiled and the output can be found in the "Debug" folder in form of dll files. * To build the Framework_Tester project, select the binarization method from "tests.h" and then click build and run. * To use OpenCL for Otsu2D method, replace the "Framework_Tester" folder with the one included in "Framework_Tester (for OpenCL).zip" - ATI Stream SDK + Samples must be installed (compatible ATI graphics card required)! * Compiling with Intel C++ from Intel Parallel Studio bundle will not work unless some changes in floating point data types are made (float -> double) and some OpenMP directives are changed (see error messages :).
