Software Building Blocks for Image Understanding

这项软件资产化赠款将支持向所有感兴趣的大学、学院和工业场所免费分发重要的图像分析软件。该研究软件是在1983年工程研究中心奖的支持下开发的，包括超二次体积建模、信号的小波分解、图像分割和触觉摄像机可视化的例程。用户界面(包括文档)的打磨和套件的必要移植到Sun、Microvax和IBM平台将由一个本科生团队完成，提供宝贵的研究经验和职业培训。还将努力确定认真的用户，并汇编对评估这一试验计划的成功有用的信息。

This Software Capitalization Grant will support the free distribution of important image analysis software to all interested universities, colleges, and industrial sites. The research software, developed with support from a 1983 Center for Engineering Research award, includes routines for superquadric volumetric modeling, wavelet decomposition of signals, image segmentation, and tactile camera visualization. Polishing of the user interface (including documentation) and porting of the suite as necessary to Sun, Microvax, and IBM platforms will be a done by a team of undergraduate students, providing valuable research experience and career training. An effort will also be made to identify serious users and compile information useful for evaluating the success of this experimental program.
