Creation
GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program)
GIMP is image editing software, much like Photoshop. It is a multi-platform software application primarily used for image composition and editing. The basic tool may be augmented by plug-ins and extensions that allow the use of new file formats, effects filters and batch processing capabilities. GIMP was initially created to manipulate raster images, but has been extended to provide limited vector image and moving image support. A number of free extensions are available in the plugin registry.
Creation
Ginger
Ginger is an application that is used to generate 360 Virtual reality tours from 360 images located in a folder. It uses a command line tool to generate the virtual reality tour which can be viewed with a web browser. It also comes with the Ginger Editor which is used to preview, annotate and edit the generated tour. It was developed under the Immersive Scholar project hosted by the University of Illinois. The last commit on GitHub was over two years ago so it is no longer in active development.
Natural Language Processing
GINGER II
GINGER II is a word-sense disambiguator for English, offering a new approach to the algorithm developed for GINGER I. It directly extracts semantic disambiguation rules from dictionary example phrases, and semantically tags, syntactically parses and disambiguates those examples. This legacy tool has no affiliated web site and is no longer available.
