The Image toolbox contains general image processing operators, and the 
kimage_proc library.  
.paragraph
These routines provide processing of multiband images (images with pixel 
vectors).  The programs adhere to the data relationships defined by the image
model, which directly maps onto the polymorphic data model.  All kimage_proc 
functions are written to operate on width-height planes of the polymorphic 
model.  If the depth, time, or elements dimensions of data object are 
greater than one, the operation is repeated for each width-height plane.  
Since the image model is a subset of the polymorphic model, Image toolbox 
programs are interoperable with other polymorphic model-based toolbox 
programs.  The Image toolbox is implemented using the polymorphic data 
services, which is contained in the dataserv toolbox.
.paragraph
The Image toolbox requires that the bootstrap, dataserv, and datamanip
toolboxes be installed.
