redux is a library for loading an image, doing some basic processing and generating a viewable image.

h2. Goals
8
9 1 Jim Pulokas
* simple to use python library
10
* simple to use network daemon that can answer requests for an image and the pipeline of processing to do on it
11
* simple to use command line client that uses either the network daemon or locally imported python library to do processing
12
* complex behind-the-scenes result caching

h2. Potential uses
15
16 1 Jim Pulokas
* a command line program like xv or imagemagick to view myami images and generate publication quality results
17
* preparing image for display in Leginon, including contrast adjustments, binning, power spectrum, etc
18
* any functions in leginon/appion where you need to either bin or calculate power spectrum
19
* preparing image for display on web pages.  web server can contact redux server.  this can replace php-mrc module which no longer compiles with php > 5.2

Investigating  "gstreamer":http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org  as a framework on which to build redux.  gstreamer allows plugins called "elements" to be connected together to form a pipeline or graph that does multimedia processing.  Here is an example application built using the command line program "gst-launch":
