摘要: This book discusses the real-time, parallel computing of digitized images including both symbolic and semantic data derived from such images. The processing, storing, transmitting image are examined. Techniques algorithms for analysis manipulation explored theoretically in terms implementation hardware software. main subject areas covered theoretical development, languages new computer techniques, special purpose real-time digital systems. Topics considered include picture neighborhood operators, region relaxation a hierarchical architecture, generalized cellular automata, family distance transformations their applications, modeling language parsing three its application to syntactic pattern recognition, PIXAL, processing images, real time analysis, hybrid focus attention, virtual plane concept, multi-microprocessor man-machine interactive an array processor, color display. volume is based on proceedings part Japan-US Seminar Research Towards Real-Time Parallel Image Analysis Recognition held Tokyo 1978.
