The arrays are not specifically designed to deal with image data, although image and graphic libraries could make use of them. It's not clear whether this is the case for GIL having never used it myself. Looking through GIL's tutorial though and ignoring image specific terminology there does appear to be some similarity. The main difference between the math arrays in the library and uBLAS is that they're defined as fixed-size arrays. The other differences at the moment is only dense arrays and operations on them are available, and no algebra has been implemented. On 6/21/11, Fabio Fracassi <f.fracassi@gmx.net> wrote:

The file maps.zip in the containers directory in Boost's vault contains a library with classes for the development of multi-dimensional array applications. Also included are scalar and fixed-size vector and matrix class templates with an expression template implementation of operators.
The multi-dimensional array's can be fixed-size statically or dynamically allocated, or dynamically allocated and resizeable. Vectors and matrices can be statically or dynamically allocated and written in block form. The notation follows that provided by the STL and other Boost libraries.
How does this compare to boost GIL and/or to boost UBLAS?
