An approach to illumination and imaging of specular surfaces that yields three-dimensional shape information is described. The structured highlight approach uses a scanned array of point sources and images of the resulting reflected highlights to compute local surface height and orientation. A prototype structured highlight inspection system, called SHINY, has been implemented. SHINY demonstrates the determination of surface shape for several test objects including solder joints. The current SHINY system makes the distant-source assumption and requires only one camera. A stereo structured highlight system using two cameras is proposed to determine surface-element orientation for objects in a much larger field of view. Analysis and description of the algorithms are included. The proposed structured highlight techniques are promising for many industrial tasks.

Computer vision deals with the extraction of information about a scene by analysis of images of that scene. The field had its origins over 30 years ago. Traditionally, it dealt with scenes that were essentially two-dimensional: documents, microscope images, high-altitude images of the earth's surface. The classical approach to analyzing such images involves segmentation of the image into parts corresponding to meaningful parts of the scene; measurement of properties of and relations among the parts; and object recognition based on comparison of the configuration of parts, properties and relations (essentially a labeled graph) with standard configurations representing the objects of interest.

The paper describes new algorithms drawn from the field of control engineering which extend classical Weiner smoothing and prediction concepts to cover a class of two-dimensional (2-D) problems. When combined with a recursive parameter estimator, the 2-D algorithms become self-tuning in nature and provide a powerful new class of adaptive signal processing techniques. Applications include image enhancement and multisensor signal filtering.

The advantage of optical signal processing and computing is mainly due to its two-dimensional complex computing ability with the fastest speed. Of computation algorithms, quite a few are iterative or recursive, such as vector or matrix multiplication over a given matrix for many times, and the computation of derivatives of much high order, etc. These algorithms are also suitable for optical computing. To perform iterative algorithms, the output from a computation step reenters the system as the input for the next step, therefore a feedback loop is needed. Many optical signal processingsystems have spatial light modulators that are electrically addressed, and the photon-to-electron and electron-to-photon conversions reduce the processing speed and increase the system complexity. In this paper we propose an all-optical signal processing system for performing the iterative algorithms by using a four wave mixing material which introduces a feedback loop in the system. We believe that this system may also be used as an optical two-dimensional dynamic memory device.

In a recent paper, Eichmann and Caulfield1 presented a preliminary exposition of optical learning machines suited for use in expert systems. In this paper, we extend the previous ideas by introducing learning as a means of reinforcement by information gathering and reasoning with uncertainty in a non-Bayesian framework2. More specifically, the non-Bayesian approach allows the representation of total ignorance (not knowing) as opposed to assuming equally likely prior distributions. The expert system framework decision aid learning scheme introduced in this paper consists of a perceptual reasoning machine. Current information derived from knowledge sources are collected and processed in a "gather/assess" module whose evidence functions and algorithms generate beliefs and hypothesis about the observations. The output of the gather/assess module is split between evidence interpretation and feedback to an "anticipate/plan" module which contains learning algorithms and knowledge bases in memory acquired from prior domain knowledge and learning updates from the gather/assess module. The output of the anticipate/plan module in turn drives the gather/assess module closing the feedback loop. The information derived from the anticipate/plan module consists of most likely associations among the anticipated and current functionals of the observations and the next best plans. The next best plans aid the selection of the knowledge sources while the most likely associations aid the selection of the support in evidential reasoning within the frame of discernment of the observations. This completes the "perceptual reasoning cycle" which is a form of learning by reinforcement. optical associative memory is utilized for the anticipation and planning knowledge bases and optical computing is used for evidential reasoning (part of the inference engine), based on Dempster/Shafer theory3, which handles the management of the uncertainty among the knowledge sources. optical computing architec
