I hope though, that it is helpful and/or educational for others too and I try to keep the code understandable, rather than highly performant. + +It is written in C++11 and thus requires a compiler capable of that standard. It uses CImg for image import and export, which at least depends on X11 and pthread libraries. CImg dependencies are handled in its own `.cmake` file.
