This is an excellent software which does the job right. It also is very flexible so that one can modify it for his/her own means. A reasonable degree of familiarity with Matlab is essential though. Do not think that you will simply plug in your images and it will work miracles for you. It takes some playing around, adjusting image formats etc. I thank the author for sharing this resource in the public domain, especially given that such softwares cost $10,000+ from commercial entities. Heartfelt thanks Robert.
