The LTI-Lib is an object oriented library with algorithms and data structures frequently used in image processing and computer vision. It has been developed at the Chair of Technical Computer Science (Lehrstuhl fuer Technische Informatik) LTI at the Aachen University of Technology, as part of many research projects in computer vision dealing with robotics, object recognition and sing language and gesture recognition.

The main goal of the LTI-Lib is to provide an object oriented library in C++, which simplifies the code sharing and maintenance, but still providing fast algorithms that can be used in real applications.

It has been developed using GCC under Linux, and Visual C++ under Windows NT. We have not tested it under other platforms.

Many classes encapsulate Windows/Linux functionality in order to simplify dealing with system or hardware specific code (for example classes for multi-threading and synchronization, time measurement and serial port access).
