In my experience[1] code is available maybe half of the time, if you really search for it: checking the academic and personal pages of every author, and scouring the code of every framework mentioned. You're lucky when the code is in C or C++ using a framework nobody uses (e.g. MegaWave), but half of the time the code is in MATLAB. All uncommented, using single character variables and under some restrictive or just weird license. And then it only works on grayscale images. Maybe because it's easier to get funding for medical images. Just applying the algorithm to each color channel separately leads to color fringing when they get out of sync. Finally, usability, distribution, and performance are afterthoughts. I don't disagree but it makes a huge difference. [1] https://github.com/victorvde/jpeg2png https://github.com/victorvde/jpeg2png
