This paper describes a bus-oriented hardware architecture for the acquisition, processing.and display of high-resolution two dimensional image data patterns. The system contains dedicated bipolar processors for image acquisition and display and a moderately coupled microprocessor system for imageprocessing. Two separate asynchronous common buses are used to support high-speed data transfer and task synchronisation in the system. The design and implementation aspects of major system components, such as pixel-bus, interleaved memory modules, image processor unit and display processor are discussed in detail. Advanced design tools for modelling parallel processes, microprogramming and pipelining were used throughout the design.

Multiple regression analysis for modeling the correspondence between a set of input variates and an output variate or a set of variates seems to be one of the most promising and direct approaches to automatically designing adaptive (or learning) systems for imageprocessing.and computer vision. Some approaches are shown with experimental results, such as automatic design of adaptive filters for image enhancement and restoration by giving the input image and the desired output image as a pair.

Despite the large degrees of parallelism present in the structure of the data and operations, it is not clear what parallel architecture is best suited for a given imageprocessing.application. This paper proposes a model for the formulation of parallel imageprocessing.tasks, and it enables a determination of a 'high level' specification of an optimal parallel architecture corresponding to a given application. In addition, the problem of determining the requirements for real time processing.are addressed.

A two-dimensional FFT algorithm has been implemented on a pipelined image processor with parallel feedback image data paths. The transform of a 512 multiplied by 512 pixel image, or say 256 images 32 multiplied by 32 pixels in size, can be carried out in one minute (excluding the transpose of the image). The image-processor architecture lends itself very well to some portions of the FFT computation;other portions suggest directions for future hardware development.

A novel architecture has been proposed based on the C-MOVE microprocessor for the fast and efficient parallel structural decomposition, W-H transform and encoding of digitalimages. A hierarchical and reconfigurable tree of interconnected processors is used to implement the W-H transform of an image which is already preprocessed and decomposed into a succession of consecutive “quadrant” sub-pictures. The regular decomposition procedure is followed to develop the quad-tree structure associated with a given image. Then a parallel algorithm is developed for the realization of the W-H transform of the given image. The W-H transform of the whole picture can be implemented by parallel processing. The C-MOVE architecture has been invoked for the realization of the above mentioned scheme. The C-MOVE architecture can prove to be extremely economical and fast, especially when a large number of parallel processors is utilized. The tree-structure of the decomposed picture and the proposed hierarchically distributed processing.scheme match very well, resulting in a very flexible and adaptable architecture for implementing an imageprocessing.scheme. The proposed scheme uses C-MOVE processors to implement all the modules of the system. The architecture presented exhibits a high degree of parallelism with the main processing.modules sharing the same main memory and exchanging data over the common very high speed bus, under the control of the master-controller processor. Each module works independently on the assigned task once the data and instruction string have been loaded in its part of memory. Meanwhile, the picture preprocessing.module is freed to proceed on the next step of the regular decomposition algorithm.

This paper acknowledges that digitalimageprocessing.systems no longer are limited to pure research or prototype status, but rather are cost-effective, accurate and efficient enough to have become a category of quasi-standard instrumentation in the fields of diagnostic medical imaging, visual inspection, remote sensing, geophysics, data encoding and decoding, and other fields. A new architectural concept incorporates the most recent advances in microprocessor technology: high-speed, specialized processors, often with local intelligence;large-scale direct-mapped memory;and multiple-bus and multitasking capabilities within a stand-alone device. This architecture is described as an alternative to the traditional configurations in which digitalimage generators, CPU, memory, special processors and peripherals exist as cable-length devices.

In this paper an image computer architecture is proposed, which is optimalized for two classes of typical imageprocessing.tasks, required in visual inspection and robotvision. Time-filtering, motion analysis, stereo-vision, image compression, matching are examples of a first class of imageprocessing.tasks. To a second class of imageprocessing.tasks belongs feature extraction;in contrast with the preceding, this processing.requires only one image. The basic element of the system is a fast image Bus (IBUS) which is a reflection of the needs of parallel access and random access processing.: four differently programmable data channels, two address busses and data-to-address feedback capabilities. The system itself is modular to allow minimum configurations in a wide variety of industrial visual inspection tasks.

Despite the numerous advantages of digital signal processing.(DSP), and the existence of a wealth of sophisticated algorithms, the widespread application of DSP has been hindered by a shortage of cost-effective digital hardware for volume use. Now, with the availability of low-cost high-speed VLSI circuits, such as the Texas Instruments TMS320, the virtues and power of DSP are ready for realtime signal processing.applications. Development of the single-chip TMS320 DSP computer began in the late 1970s. The architecture, key novel features, instruction set and capabilities of this device are examined. Support software and hardware development tools for the TMS320 are also included with some of its applications. Typical areas of application of the TMS320 include speech signal processing. telecommunications, robotics, radar signal and sonar signal processing. seismology, imageprocessing. audio recording and reproduction, biomedical instrumentation, acoustic noise measurements and automatic test equipment.
