Hello everyone, I would like to know the best way to handle high end image processing task at the server side. By image processing I mean applying custom filters and writing your own image processing algorithms like morphological opening and closing. I know these are stuff not available in GD. Is it possible to write such stuff using OpenCV and deploy it to the server? Please take a look at http://www.orkutize.com Currently the processing is quite slow and I have to restrict images to VGA quality. The (PHP) script utilizes some non linear filters like minimum filter and is quite slow compared to c implementation. Any help will be greatly appriciated
you can always write straight C and execute shell scripts on images. you might also put a "processing" delay in... make it longer and use that time to show ads. give faster processing to paying users, too. good luck!
