The Laboratory for Computational Vision at the University of British Columbia is distributing its Standard Image System to other labs interested in computer vision and image processing applications. The software system defines a standard image datatype that makes few assumptions about image size (both spatial and spectral resolution), graphics device characteristics, or host operating system. To realize these capabilities efficiently, a bit-stream I/O method has been implemented on top of the normal record-oriented file system of the host. Files are viewed as randomly accessible contiguous streams of bits. As a result, the system is extremely flexible and easily extensible. The system has been implemented under Unix and interfaced to most supported language processors. As well a large collection of generic image subroutines and operators has been developed. The system is available for a nominal license fee to other academic Unix sites.
