Three-Dimensional Graphics Work-Station for Microsystems Research

将得到一个高质量的三维图形计算机工作站。工作站将由实时图像采集和HP 9000计算机组成，该计算机将被安置在马里兰大学的微系统实验室中。该图像采集系统由两台视频彩色摄像机以及视频数字化仪和预处理器组成。HP 9000计算机是一个32位处理器系统，由强大而灵活的软件支持，以适应各种需求。该工作站将用于支持来自该大学不同部门（工程学院、农业和生命科学系以及医学院）的12名合作教员及其学生的研究。研究项目包括：基于微机的神经网络控制与分析、机器人的内在三维曲线表征、基于计算机特征提取技术的细胞骨架研究、半导体器件建模、滞回半稳态描述系统、寻目标控制论系统、3D固态器件结构、机器人大型互连控制、实时和分布式程序系统，机器人控制的重复调整技术，机器人部件断裂，微波放大器的CAD。

A high quality three-dimensional graphics computer work station will be obtained. The work station will consist of a real-time image acquisition and a HP 9000 computer that will be housed in the Microsystems Laboratory of the University of Maryland. The image acquisition system consists of two video color cameras together with video digitizers and preprocessors. The HP 9000 computer is a 32-bit processor system supported by powerful and flexible software to accommodate diverse demands. The work station will be utilized to support the research of twelve cooperating faculty members and their students from diverse segments of the University (in the College of Engineering, the Division of Agriculture and Life Sciences, and the Medical School). The research projects include: microcomputer-based control and analysis in neural networks, intrinsic 3D curve characterizations for robots, cytoskeletal studies through computer-based feature extraction techniques, semiconductor device modeling, hysteretic semistate described systems, goal-seeking cybernetic systems, 3D solid-state device structures, control of large interconnections of robots, real-time and distributed program systems, repetitive adjustment technique for robot control, robot component fracturing, and CAD of microwave amplifiers.
