CISE Research Instrumentation: Instrumentation to Support Image Analysis and Control System Software Research at Vanderbilt University

范德比尔特大学CISE研究仪器：支持范德比尔特大学图像分析和控制系统软件研究的仪器该奖项支持购买用于五个项目的设备，这些项目严重依赖于高性能计算：-分布式机器人控制系统开发的新软件框架-机器人视觉伺服的主动立体视觉-彩色图像的数学形态学-脑图像引导手术的形态计量学分析。第一种是将机器人控制系统分解为行为产生代理的组，并提供仲裁机制来控制代理使用的资源。第二部分将实现一种新的机器人手臂运动视觉控制算法。第三个项目将把一个用于数学形态学（非线性图像处理的一个分支）研究的软件系统从Unix移植到NT，并将其中一位研究人员最近开发的新的基于色调的形态学图像操作符结合起来。第四项研究将开发并严格评估算法，通过对3D图像的计算机分析来检测大脑结构形态学的细微变化。第五个项目将通过计算机图像协助神经外科医生进行肿瘤切除。所有五个项目都是计算密集型的，将大量使用计算机图形和图像处理（2D和3D）。第一个项目将投入六台计算机中的两台和一个嵌入式奔腾系统。另外四个人每人使用一台电脑。项目1和项目5将使用图形加速器和3D眼镜。项目2将使用一个帧捕捉器。项目4和项目5将使用CD-ROM录音机。项目1和项目2将使用MSN开发者的许可证。所有5个都需要c++，并将由其余的硬件和软件提供服务。

9617519 Peters, Richard Alan Vanderbilt Univesity CISE Research Instrumentation: Instrumentation to Support Image Analysis and Control System Software Research at Vanderbilt University This award supports the purchase of equipment to be used in five projects which depend heavily on high performance computing: -A New Software Framework for the Development of Control Systems for Distributed Robots- Active Stereo Vision for Robotic Visual Servoing- Mathematical Morphology for Color Images-Morphometric Analysis of the Brain-Image Guided Surgery. The first will break a robotic control system into groups of behavior producing agents and provide arbitration mechanisms to control the resources used by agents. The second will implement a new algorithm for (robot) visual control of robot arm motion. The third project will port a software system for research in mathematical morphology (a branch of non-linear image processing) from Unix to NT and incorporate new hue-based morphological image operators recently developed by one of the investigators. The fourth will develop and rigorously evaluate algorithms to detect subtle changes in the morphology of brain structures through the computer analysis of 3D imagery. The fifth project will assist, through computed imagery, neurosurgeons performing tumor resection. All five of the projects are computationally intensive and will make heavy use of computer graphics and image processing (both 2D and 3D). Two of six computers and an embedded Pentium system will be dedicated the first project. One computer each will be used by the other four. Projects 1 and 5 will use graphics accelerators and 3D glasses. Project 2 will use a frame grabber. Projects 4 and 5 will use the CD-ROM recorder. Projects 1 and 2 will use MSN developer's licenses. All 5 will need C++ and will be serviced by the remaining hardware and software.
