An object-oriented language for image and vision execution (OLIVE)

摘要

The object-oriented language for image and vision environments(OLIVE), which is intended to make it easier to develop efficient,portable applications is presented. OLIVEs principal object types,called images and loci (abstractions of point sets and geometricentities), and their corresponding operations, including the use oflocuses as generalized indexes for images, are defined. Several examplesof OLIVE for typical image processing and machine vision tasks arepresented. Issues concerning the implementation of OLIVE, including ahardware architecture that simplifies the implementation while enhancingits performance, are discussed
