This page is exclusively for the people actually working on the SVP system design and implementation. Initially, Fall 20001, this is just Dan Crispell and Bob. Since it is private, it should not appear as a link on any publicly accessible web page.

Overview: We will be using Swing and Java 2D as much (or more) than we'll be using JAI. JAI has tons of "canned" routines, whereas we will be developing custom pixel-level software almost exclusively. This linked page lays out some of the system and Java-related issues.

I have given Dan the Rodrigues book, the only one so far that covers JAI.

First, here are the URLs from the mail I sent earlier.

• Building Imaging Applications with Java(tm) Technology: Using AWT Imaging, Java 2D, and Java Advanced Imaging (JAI) by Lawrence H. Rodrigues Paperback - 880 pages 1st edition (June 6, 2001) Addison-Wesley Pub Co; ISBN: 0201700743
• Book site: http://cseng.aw.com/book/0,3828,0201700743,00.html
• http://cseng.aw.com/book/related/0,3833,0201700743+35,00.html Also book site, which has other links, including source code.
• The Sun JAI site: http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/jai/
• A tutorial: http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/onlineTraining/javaai/index.html
• An early release doc, JAI 1.0, 1999, maybe out of date. But 14 chapters (!): http://web2.javasoft.com/products/java-media/jai/forDevelopers/jai1_0guide/JAITOC.fm.html

Swing and Java 2D: On the client-side, the system building we do will use tools from Swing and Java 2D. Here are some links for these topics. There are many books on the topics, e.g., the 900 page Swing Tutorial book.

• Marty Hall's Swing tutorial:
• O'Reilly's Swing book by Eckstein, Loy & Wood
• Another Swing book published by Manning.
• Sun's Creating a GUI with Swing.
• Sun's Java 2D FAQ.
• O'Reilly's Java 2D book by Knudsen.
• The 2D API: A page at Sun with a collection of Java 2D links.

BTW: I try to keep copies of all these books in the Egan lab.
