ANIMAL first implementation 1988 revised 2004 is an interactive environment for Imageprocessing that is oriented toward the rapid prototyping, testing, and modification of algorithms. To create ANIMAL AN IMage ALgebra , XLISP of David Betz was extended with some new types sockets, arrays, images, masks, and drawables. The theoretical framework and the implementation of the working environment is described in the paper http tev.fbk.eu people modena Papers BruMod AF 1989.pdf ANIMAL AN IMage ALgebra ref R. Brunelli and C. M. Modena, ANIMAL AN IMage ALgebra , High Frequency, 1989, LVIII 3 255 259 ref . In the theoretical framework of ANIMAL a digital image is a boundless matrix with its history . However, in the implementation it is bounded by a rectangular region in the discrete plane and the elements outside the region have a constant value. The size and position of the region in the plane focus is defined by the coordinates of the rectangle. In this way all the pixel s, including those on the border, have the same number of neighbors useful in local operators, such as digital filter s . Furthermore, pixelwise commutative operation s remain commutative on image level, independently on focus size and position of the rectangular regions . The history is a list which tracks the operations and parameters applied to the matrix. This mechanism is useful to document algorithms and generate new functions. ANIMAL has been ported to R programming language R , a freely available language and environment for statistical computing and graphics. http tev.fbk.eu TM AnImAl.tgz The new implementation is free and is used in a recent book ref R.

expert subject Robotics date June 2009 unreferenced date June 2009 There is a special kind of physical platform called cellular automata that can perform different kinds of computation. Although the principle of cellular automata is very attractive, it is difficult to build a general purpose computer based on it for performing real engineering tasks. Since many image processing tasks are cellular in nature, it had been found that cellular processing hardware platforms can be used to perform these tasks. There are at least two kinds of hardware platforms for implementing cellular automata for the purpose of image processing. The first one is called cellular logic array and the second one is called cellular neural network . Cellular neural network is also known as cellular nonlinear network. The theory of cellular image processing is based on cellular logic and is the basis for designing image processing algorithms based on cellular hardware . It consists of the follows. Local rule s and its implementation. Decomposing global image processing tasks by using local rules. Signal propagation along local connectedness. Cellular image processing is a way of designing super fast image processing platforms. There are different VLSI implementations of cellular nonlinear network s to achieve this goal.

In imageprocessing , an epitome is a condensed digital representation of the essential statistical properties of ordered dataset s, such as matrices representing image s, audio signal s, video s, or genetic sequence s. Although much smaller than the epitomized data, the epitome contains many of the smaller overlapping parts of the data with much less repetition and with some level of generalization. As such, it can be used for data mining and other machine learning and signal processing tasks.

In imageprocessing , normalization is a process that changes the range of pixel intensity values. Applications include photographs with poor contrast vision contrast due to glare, for example. Normalization is sometimes called contrast stretching. In more general fields of data processing, such as digital signal processing , it is referred to as dynamic range expansion. The purpose of dynamic range expansion in the various applications is usually to bring the image, or other type of signal, into a range that is more familiar or normal to the senses, hence the term normalization. Often, the motivation is to achieve consistency in dynamic range for a set of data, signals, or images to avoid mental distraction or fatigue. For example, a newspaper will strive to make all of the images in an issue share a similar range of grayscale . Normalization is a linear process. If the intensity range of the image is 50 to 180 and the desired range is 0 to 255 the process entails subtracting 50 from each of pixel intensity, making the range 0 to 130. Then each pixel intensity is multiplied by 255 130, making the range 0 to 255. Auto normalization in imageprocessing software typically normalizes to the full dynamic range of the number system specified in the image file format. The normalization process will produce iris regions, which have the same constant dimensions, so that two photographs of the same iris under different conditions will have characteristic features at the same spatial location.

Drizzle or DRIZZLE is a digital imageprocessing method for the linear reconstruction of undersampling undersampled images. It is normally used for the combination of astronomical images and was originally developed for the Hubble Deep Field observations made by the Hubble Space Telescope . The algorithm, known as Variable Pixel Linear Reconstruction, or informally as Drizzle, preserves photometry and resolution, can weight input images according to the statistical significance of each pixel, and removes the effects of geometric distortion on both image shape and photometry. In addition, it is possible to use drizzling to combine dithered images in the presence of cosmic rays. According to astrophotographer David Ratledge , Results using the DRIZZLE command can be spectacular with amateur instruments. ref cite book url http books.google.com books?id fJrOLORhg1YC&pg PT94&dq drizzle space.telescope digital&sig t2LpcVppdIbT8IrsXz J3YYMXn0 title Digital Astrophotography The State Of The Art author David Ratledge year 2005 publisher Springer isbn 1852337346 ref Overview Image Cowie comp.gif thumb right 500px On the left a single 2400s F814W WF2 image taken from the HST archive.

Image Weldprintbox.jpg thumb 200px right The steel box that houses WeldPrint , which uses SIP for the industrial analysis of weld quality Signature ImageProcessing SIP is a technology for analysing electrical data collected from welding processes usually automated, robotic welding. In developed countries, some form of welding is used in more than 50 of manufactured products. Acceptable welding requires fine tuning and exact conditions even minute variations in conditions and control can cause a weld to be unacceptable. Thus, there has been a need for a robust, reliable, real time welding fault detection, especially in safety critical applications in automotive manufacture. SIP allows welding faults to be identified in real time, measures the stability of welding processes and enables welding processes to be optimised. The advance was possible only through the advent of more powerful computers. The quality monitoring of automatic welding can save production downtime, reduce the need for product reworking and recall, and is becoming increasingly important as car makers increase the number of robots and reduce the number of human operators in their plants. The technology is used by eight auto component manufacturers, including leading companies in Australia and the EU, in which it has transformed welding practices, significantly improving the industrial process and the quality of the products.

Quantization , involved in imageprocessing , is a lossy compression technique achieved by compressing a range of values to a single quantum value. When the number of discrete symbols in a given stream is reduced, the stream becomes more compressible. For example, reducing the number of colors required to represent a digital image makes it possible to reduce its file size. Specific applications include Discrete cosine transform DCT data quantization in JPEG and Discrete wavelet transform DWT data quantization in JPEG 2000 . FORCETOC Color quantization mainarticle Color quantization Color quantization reduces the number of colors used in an image this is important for displaying images on devices that support a limited number of colors and for efficiently compressing certain kinds of images. Most bitmap editors and many operating systems have built in support for color quantization. Popular modern color quantization algorithms include the nearest color algorithm for fixed palettes , the Median cut median cut algorithm , and an algorithm based on octree s. It is common to combine color quantization with dither dithering to create an impression of a larger number of colors and eliminate colour banding banding artifacts. Frequency quantization for image compression The human eye is fairly good at seeing small differences in brightness over a relatively large area, but not so good at distinguishing the exact strength of a high frequency rapidly varying brightness variation. This fact allows one to reduce the amount of information required by ignoring the high frequency components. This is done by simply dividing each component in the frequency domain by a constant for that component, and then rounding to the nearest integer. This is the main lossy operation in the whole process. As a result of this, it is typically the case that many of the higher frequency components are rounded ... certain frequencies in the source to avoid losing image quality.

Interferometry Category Astronomical imaging ru Astronomical ImageProcessing System ...Missing image removed Image Aips.gif thumb right The emblem of AIPS AIPS is a package to support the reduction and analysis of data taken with radio telescopes. It is most useful for arrays of telescopes like the VLA and VLBA and the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope WSRT . In more recent years, it has also been used successfully for VLBI very long baseline interferometry . The software was originally developed by NRAO in the seventies, and has since grown to be the defacto standard software package in the worldwide radioastronomy community. History AIPS is what most of us would now describe as legacy software , having been originally coded in a truly ancient dialect of FORTRAN predating even the venerable FORTRAN IV . AIPS now uses FORTRAN 77, although it has been digested successfully by at least one FORTRAN 90 compiler. A Modcomp computer in Charlottesville was the first system to actually host a working AIPS system, and it quickly spread to a guest UNIX system hosted on an IBM 360 mainframe. From there, it spread in the early 1980s to VAX VMS systems, often with an attached floating point systems array processor this peculiar device was the moral equivalent of the 80387 floating point accelerators that some old timers may remember being part and parcel of many 386 systems . In the late 1980s, UNIX came back into AIPS universe in a big way, first with the Sun 3 series of Motorola 68020 based systems and then with a series of others, including Cray Unicos , Convex and Alliant systems. By the time the 80s were winding down, the dominance of VMS in the AIPS universe was being seriously questioned. Performance on new upstarts like Sun was starting to challenge their price performance ratio, and the first SPARCstations totally blew them away. In the early 1990s, AIPS moved to a smorgasbord of UNIX variants AIX, Stardent briefly , Ultrix, HP UX, SGI s Irix and DEC oops ... more details
