Image Understanding Research

Abstract

The image understanding projects reported herein are maturing with symbolic matching, structure location, edge fitting, stochastic texture analysis and SVD feature selection, all being reported upon in some detail. The image processing projects present both new and concluding projects. New projects include double phase binary computer generated holograms and turntable radar imaging via coherent multi-frequency radar return processing. Older projects resulting in successful theoretics and experimental work include a posteriori restoration and perceptual model color image coding. Our on-going smart sensor project is expanding rapidly with old circuits being driven at near real time TV rates and new circuits being designed for 7 x 7 area processing for both enhancement and texture development. The Institute has installed a real time TV solid state refresh monitor and display at ARPA headquarters. This allows recent pictorial results to be made available over the ARPANET. Any and all contractors can make use of this device with software drivers available from the Institute.
