+Vision with Generic Algorithms
+It's a novel computer vision library that puts its main emphasize on
+customizable algorithms and data structures. By using template
+techniques similar to those in the C++ Standard Template Library,
+you can easily adapt any VIGRA component to the needs of your
+application, without thereby giving up execution speed.
