Yes, welcome. I have myself some image (resp. imageio) related code sitting here and I'll have a close look whether it makes sense to add this also. >> We now need to settle the administrative questions raised in [2]: >> >> 2.

Looking for image related code I'd probably never spotted senselan though, simply because I expect that the component name matches the covered topic. >> My preference would be to adopt a functional name.
