Acquisition of Laboratory Equipment for Parallel Algorithm Research Image Processing

9724462斯威茨，丹尼尔·L·奥古斯塔纳学院主要研究仪器：购买并行算法研究图像处理的实验室设备奥古斯塔纳学院已经获得了一个主要研究仪器奖，以支持购买一组高性能的奔腾机器，以开发一个用于学术教学和研究的并行处理实验室。并行处理设备将允许奥古斯塔纳的教职员工和学生研究计算机视觉和图像处理算法的并行实现，以生产实时、具有成本效益的图像处理系统。奥古斯塔纳学院与南达科他州苏福尔斯的美国地质调查局爱洛斯数据中心有现有的联系，该中心提供来自卫星、飞机和地面辐射计等遥感来源的数据。三名高级人员和八名本科生将为卫星图像的处理和分析开发并行算法，其中包括并行云层数据检测和提取、并行统计数据平滑和并行土地覆盖分析。

9724462 Swets, Daniel L. Augustana College Major Research Instrumentation: Acquisition of Laboratory Equipment for Parallel Algorithm Research Image Processing A Major Research Instrumentation award has been made to Augustana College to support the acquisition of a cluster of high-powered Pentium machines to develop a parallel processing laboratory for use in academic instruction and research. The parallel processing equipment will allow Augustana faculty and students to study parallel implementation of computer vision and image processing algorithms for the production of real-time, cost-effective image processing systems. Augustana College has existing ties to the US Geological Survey EROS Data Center, Sioux Falls, South Dakota which makes available data from remote sensing sources including satellite, airplane, and ground radiometers. Three senior personnel and eight undergraduates will be developing parallel algorithms for the processing and analysis of satellite images that include parallel cloud-cover data detection and extraction, parallel statistical data smoothing, and parallel land cover analysis.
