Research Instrument for Optical Signal Processing, Optical Materials and Devices, and Digital Image Processing

摘要

The funds received under Grant AFOSR-84-0295 for Research Instrumentation for Optical Signal Processing, Optical Materials and Devices, and Digital Image processing went for the purchase of equipment in support of several current AFOSR funded research projects at USC. The projects include: Nonlinear Real-Time Optical Signal Processing; Devices and Systems for Nonlinear Optical Information Processing; Processing of Images with Signal-Dependent Noise Using Nonstationary Models; and Image Processing, Image Understanding and Computer Vision. The equipment purchased consists of the following components: interactive image/graphics processor/display; DEC Vax 11/750 and Microvax II dedicated host computers; image processing software; and softcopy and hardcopy graphics peripherals. The equipment acquired has greatly improved research productivity in the projects listed by providing up-to-date hardware and softward capable of performing advanced experimental projects which could not be done on previously available equipment.
