Software List (Abridged version)
AHDRIA & AHDRIC are software for automated capture of high dynamic range images.
The HDRI utilities allow the use of high dynamic range imaging (HDRI) data with the popular POV-Ray raytracing software.
LoadTGTerrain.m Matlab script for loading Terragen terrain files into a standard matrix. View with imshow(), produce contour maps with contour(), manipulate with the Mapping Toolbox, etc.!
More software is available at the Projects and Programs pages on my GeoCities website. Including: The Lensflare Toolkit, Perl-based L-Systems, ABC2NW (music typesetting), various JavaScripts, the Programmer's Color Picker, the Base64 Utilities, HDR2TIFF (convert between these two high dynamic range image formats), DEM2TGA, and various other bits of code.
