Abstract

Image processing is one of the current research topics widely used in different engineering fields. Therefore, it is taught as a lesson under different names in various engineering departments. In-class applications are usually done through programs that depend on desktop platforms such as Windows, Linux or MacOS. These platforms, which self or its camera are fixed, can only take real time images with limited mobility. It is difficult to apply image processing algorithms for real time images and make comparisons. In this study, a cross-platform test tool for image processing was developed. This tool can work on desktop platforms such as Windows and MacOS, as well as mobile platforms such as Android and IOS. Thanks to mobile platform support, the real time images can be taken anytime and anywhere. The basic image processing operations can be performed on recorded or real time images. The resulting images can be recorded. Thus, a test environment is provided to apply and compare different methods and algorithms.
