When implementing image algorithms, I am prone to make these mistakes:
- swapping x and y;
- working on the wrong channel;
- making off-by-one errors, especially in window algorithms;
- making division-by-zero errors;
- handling borders incorrectly; and
- handling non-power-of-two sized images incorrectly.
Since these types of errors are prevalent in many image-processing algorithms, it would be useful to develop, once and for all, general tests that will catch these errors quickly for any algorithm.
This post is about such tests.
