http://www.debianadmin.com/working-with-vast-raster-images-nip2.html : An article by Mikhail V. Konnik introducing nip2. http://www.mvkonnik.info/2009/11/nip2-advanced-images-analysis-tool.html : A more detailed introduction to nip2 by the same author in his blog To Imaging, and Beyond! http://iipimage.sourceforge.net/documentation/images : IIP Image suggests vips (and other tools) to build its image pyramids. Compared to ImageMagick, VIPS typically uses 1/10th of the memory and runs more than twice as fast. http://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/8yh7d/nip2_aims_to_be_about_halfway_between_excel_and : nip2 discussed on reddit. http://prokoudine.info/blog/2006/09/vips-magic : A blog posting about nip2. http://dailypackage.fedorabook.com/index.php?/archives/64-Artsy-Tuesday-Nip2-Spreadsheet-like-image-manipulation.html : nip2 discussed on Artsy Tuesday.
http://iipimage.sourceforge.net : IIPImage use VIPS to build their image pyramids. PARSEC : The PARSEC benchmark suite uses VIPS as one of its sample applications. node-vips : a JavaScript binding for libvips and node.js. ruby-vips : a Ruby binding for libvips, see https://github.com/jcupitt/ruby-vips for a version that works with current libvips. http://sourceforge.net/projects/libfvs : LibFVS, a content-based retrieval package, uses VIPS. VASARI, MARC, VISEUM, ACOHIR, CRISATEL, ARTISTE and MUSA : These EU projects all used VIPS as their image processing library.
University of Southampton : The Department of Electronics and Computer Science at the University of Southampton use it as an image processing framework in research projects. Imperial College, London : The department of Experimental Medicine at Imperial College are using it to analyse medical images. The National Gallery, London : It's used at The National Gallery for most of their imaging research. The National Gallery's Print on Demand service is all VIPS behind the scenes.
VIPS is also used in a number of other labs, museums and galleries around the world (including MOMA, the Louvre and BStGS), mostly for infra-red reflectogram mosaic assembly.
