Multiprocessor Station (MIPS)
Abstract
The objective of the MultiProcessor Station (MIPS) effort was to establish a software development environment to: maximize cross platform portability of image and video processing software; maximize the utilization of available multiprocessors on intelligence workstations; and maximize the life span and minimize the life cycle cost of software. The end product is: an object based visual programming environment in which image and video data and operations are represented by icons; an environment which permits mixing of legacy code and new development; a framework providing the capability to visually program new algorithms without writing any source code; tight integration of the constructor mode with the main window mode means that new algorithms can be developed and easily installed on any computer with MIPS software; the image cube object, which is used to store all imagery and video, makes it possible for all image processing algorithms to be applied to all types of data; versatility for exploiters of multi-spectral imagery, in that processing and display of image bands can be tightly controlled, easily modified, and packaged for widespread use; the environment demonstrates portability across platforms, software reusability, adaptability to various multiprocessor configurations, and extensibility to other application areas (i.e. signal processing).
