Hybrid (Optical/Electronic) Computing and Digital Computing
Abstract
The program consists of two areas of optical information processing: (i) optical-analog/electronic hybrid computing for optical image processing, optical pattern recognition and solution of partial differential equations, and (ii) nonlinear optical devices and digital optical computing. The optical-analog/electronic digital hybrid system consist of an analog optical processor with input/output interfaces to a microcomputer. The analog optical processor is employed to perform time consuming computations, while the logical decisions and controls are provided by an electronic microcomputer. For image processing we have implemented, with hybrid systems, numerous space-variant transformations (e.g., Hough transform for detection of high-order parametric curves, coordinate transform for rotation and scale invariant feature extraction, etc.).
