VXL < http://vxl.sourceforge.net/ > encapsulates some of the basic classes
for models, but more pertinent libraries remain in the hands of academic
groups that use them. I believe this makes VXL a non-GPL'd project.
Either way, in relation to what the OP is after, segmentation tools are
included (C/C++, not Python), as well as Markov models and some of the
rest, I suspect. It it worth fetching the whole package via CVS and then
searching the files using FGREP and the like to see what intersects with
your needs. VXL is truly *huge*. Being Open Source, you are not bound to
be dependent on expensive interpreters, compilers or pay for any licences
either.
Hope it helps,
Roy
