The Illinois Pattern Recognition Computer-ILLIAC III
TLDR
The Pattern Articulation Unit is the first modular parallel processor which is capable of more reliable visual identification than part analog/part digital preprocessors of much less generality and potential virtuosity and can serve as a prototype to a new generation of parallel computers that will capitalize upon thin film and integrated semiconductor circuitry of the immediate future.Abstract:
This report describes the system design of an all-digital computer for visual recognition. One processor, the Pattern Articulation Unit (PAU), has been singled out for detailed discussion. Other units, in particular the Arithmetic Unit and the Taxicrinic Unit, are treated in reports listed in the bibliography. The PAU has been shown to be a processor of fundamentally new design-its logical organization has no analog in the central processing unit of existing computers. The PAU is the first modular parallel processor which because of its digital organization is capable of more reliable visual identification than part analog/part digital preprocessors of much less generality and potential virtuosity; is faster than any presently suggested alternative realizable today at comparable cost; and can serve as a prototype to a new generation of parallel computers that will capitalize upon thin film and integrated semiconductor circuitry of the immediate future.read more

Method for the automatic marking of cells and for feature determination of cells from cytological smears
TL;DR: In this paper, a method for automatic marking and for determining the characteristics of cells from cytological smear preparations is described, in which an evaluation of TV images of the preparations, which are recorded by a television camera, is used instead of the visual evaluation by trained persons.

The processing of hexagonally sampled images
TL;DR: This chapter reviews research on the sampling of images on a hexagonal grid, the processing of hexagonally sampled images by single- and multiprocessor computers, and the computation of image-processing operations on both binary and monochrome hexagonal sampled images.

An array processing system with a Fortran-based realization
TL;DR: A general purpose array processing system called APS is described, designed to simplify the programming and testing of image processing algorithms and has been coupled with a high-level language interpreter so that both high- level interactive programming and efficient execution can be achieved.

Image Processing Principles and Techniques
TL;DR: No consensus on the meaning of image processing exists, and to some, it is the conversion of one image to another image in which details are more easily discernible or which is more pleasing in some visual sense.

Benchmarking parallel image analysis systems
Kendall Preston,Carol Seigart +1 more
TL;DR: The authors have devised a new set of benchmarks for parallel image analysis systems consisting of individual tests of the following operations: Point process, integer convolution, Fourier transform, Fouriers transform, Boolean algebra, histograming, and memory to display transfer.
