SCREENSHOT:

Piccante can be used for generating HDR images starting from a stack of classic 8-bit images.

Piccante can manage different color spaces, and new ones can be added to its core with ease.

Piccante provides algorithms for tone mapping HDR images in order to be visualized on traditional displays.

Piccante can filter images using a high quality selection of linear and non linear filters.

Piccante can extract local features for different tasks such as image alignments, classification, 3D reconstruction, etc.
