What is Image-Calc anyway? I've seen some other references and am
wondering what it is and does and how we might get it.
We are manufacturing a line of high-powered low-cost image processing
boards for the VME bus. (Things like real time 3x3 convolution
boards, 3x3 systolic neighborhood area processors that are cascadable
for larger neighborhoods, real-time histogram and feature list
extraction, etc). The architecture allows the user to trade off
boards for speed / performance. It is also an open architecture so
designers can easily add their own custom hardware and not worry
about digitizers, frame stores, basic signal processing (we even
offer a prototype board with all the hooks for VME and our own digital
video interconnect.
We need a way to separate the algorithms from the hardware. Looking
for image processing standards / languages.
Might Image-Calc be a possiblity? What other image processing
"languages" are out there?

Peabody, Ma 01960 617-535-6644 Image-Calc is a product of SRI. It was written by Dr. Lynn Quam for Symbolics Lisp Machines. It provides an *excellent* environment for experimenting with and developing machine vision algorithms. It essentially provides a workbench for manipulating images. We found it very easy to add our own image format to the ensemble of formats which Image-Calc knows about. We have also found it very easy to add new image-processing functions. I believe that our license was $25,000. Contact SRI for the details. -- C. Ian Connolly, WA2IFI - USENET: ...edison!steinmetz!connolly , , ARPANET: connolly@ge-crd An rud a bhionn, bionn.
