These are the proceedings of a NATO Advanced Study Institute (ASI)
held in Cetraro, Italy during 6-17 June 1983. The title of the ASI
was Computer Arehiteetures for SpatiaZZy vistributed Vata, and it
brouqht together some 60 participants from Europe and America.
Presented ere are 21 of the lectures that were delivered. The
articles cover a wide spectrum of topics related to computer
architecture s specially oriented toward the fast processing of
spatial data, and represent an excellent review of the
state-of-the-art of this topic. For more than 20 years now
researchers in pattern recognition, image processing, meteorology,
remote sensing, and computer engineering have been looking toward
new forms of computer architectures to speed the processing of data
from two- and three-dimensional processes. The work can be said to
have commenced with the landmark article by Steve Unger in 1958,
and it received a strong forward push with the development of the
ILIAC III and IV computers at the University of Illinois during the
1960's. One clear obstacle faced by the computer designers in those
days was the limitation of the state-of-the-art of hardware, when
the only switching devices available to them were discrete
transistors. As aresult parallel processing was generally
considered to be imprae tieal, and relatively little progress was
made."
A machine vision system should be able to analyze images and
produce descriptions of what it "sees." The descriptions should
capture the aspects of the objects being imaged and be useful for
accomplishing some specific tasks. In this volume a number of
subjects are discussed. They include theoretical aspects which
focus on shape analysis, special architectures, 3-D image
decomposition, inspection by machine vision, and others.
Applications include geophysical image analysis, robotics, sparse
image understanding, biomedical applications. An ample survey of
the present industrial applications is also provided.
