Hi

There isn't really code to start with.  The main point of this project
is to create a Matlab compatible Tiff class [1] and there isn't one in
Octave yet.  This will probably be a thin wrapper to libtiff [2].
Once that is done, it should be trivial to make imread, imwrite, and
imfinfo use it via imformats.

I'd value any contribution in C++ to Octave more than image related
contributions in the Octave language.

Best regards
