Stored images are self-documenting.
HIPS maintains a complete log of the file history within the header file. Every image file contains a record of who owns it, when it was created, file format as well as a record of all HIPS operations performed on it. Comes with source, a complete set of on-line Unix manual pages, and detailed documentation. User-contributed software HIPS is a set of image processing modules which together provide a powerful suite of tools for those interested in research, system development and teaching. It runs under the UNIX operating system.
