Important new techniques for representing and analyzing image data at multiple resolutions have been developed over the past several years. Closely related multiresolution structures and procedures have been developed more or less independently in diverse scientific fields. For example, pyramid and subband representations have been applied to image compression, and promise excellent performance and flexibility. Similar pyramid structures have been developed as models for the neural coding of images within the human visual system. The pyramid has been developed in the computer vision field as a general framework for implementing highly efficient algorithms, including algorithms for motion analysis and object recognition. In this paper I review these multiresolution techniques and discuss how they may be usefully combined in the future. Methods used in image compression, for example, should match the requirements of human perception, and future 'smart' transmission systems will need to perform rapid analysis in order to selectively encode the most critical information in a scene.
This paper considers the problem of estimating the parameters of multiple narrowband signals arriving at an array of sensors. Modern approaches to this problem often involve costly procedures for calculating the estim...

It is argued that those areas of data engineering research which are based on the assumption that communication bandwidth is a constraint, should be investigated. Some additional distributed database issues that require reinvestigation include concurrency control, network partitioning, backup storage and recovery algorithms. With the availability of increased bandwidth, global flooding of information can result in lower processing times than conventional approaches. Hence, broadcast-based solutions which continuously inform the various sites of the system status and data modifications need to be reconsidered. Novel transmission rates also invalidate old assumptions.< >

A 10 ns programmable signal processor system for realtime applications in video signal and image processing has been developed and realised. Up to six instructions can be processed in one operation cycle of 10 ns. The high data throughput is attained by pipeline-structure and parallel circuit design. Several program realisations using this processor system have demonstrated that realtime processing of broadband signals with such different algorithms as edgeextractions, two-dimensional DPCM and movingpattern generation are possible in a programmable processor.

The application of computer vision to mobile robots has generally been hampered by insufficient on-board computing power. The advent of VLSI-based general purpose concurrent multiprocessor systems promises to give mobile robots an increasing amount of on-board computing capability, and to allow computation intensive data analysis to be performed without high-bandwidth communication with a remote system.
In numerous computer vision applications, there is both the need and the ability to access multiple types of information about the three dimensional aspects of objects or surfaces. When this information comes from dif...
