New features and changes introduced in this version are

Enhanced ICC Profile Capabilities

The iccread and iccwrite functions have been updated to support recent changes to the ICC specification.

In addition, iccread can now read and process the following additional profile types:

In addition, iccread can now read parametric curve types.

New Pointer Management Functions

The toolbox includes three new utility functions, iptPointerManager, iptGetPointerBehavior, and iptSetPointerBehavior, that you can use to manage changes to the pointer in GUIs. For example, you can use the pointer management functions to change the appearance of the pointer when it moves over objects in a figure. These functions can be useful when building GUIs with the toolbox modular GUI tools.

New Constraint Creation Function

The toolbox includes a new utility function, makeConstrainToRectFcn, that you can use to specify drag constraints for the imdistline, imline, impoint, and imrect functions. You specify the constraints as arguments to the makeConstrainToRectFcn and this function returns a handle to a constraint function. To use this constraint with an object, set the value of the setConstraintFcn API for the object to this function handle.

Compatility Considerations

When using the cp2tform, tforminv, or imtransform functions with the transform type 'piecewise linear' you might get different answers from previous versions due to a bug fix. If you have a transformation structure (TFORM) saved from an older version, you may want to regenerate it from control points to get improved performance.

IPPL Not Used on 64-Bit Systems

Certain functions in the Image Processing Toolbox™, such as the image arithmetic functions, use the Intel® Performance Primitives Library (IPPL), if it's available. (See ippl for more information.) Note that these functions do not use the IPPL on 64-bit systems.
