CONFERENCE ON COMPUTING STRUCTURES FOR IMAGE PROCESSING

美国、欧洲和日本的科学家现在强烈地 参与图像计算结构的设计和制造 正在处理。这一情况与之前目睹的情况相比是一个重大转变 在20世纪60年代末和70年代，当时只有工业界参与了这种 程序。(直接制造的最后一台主要研究计算机 在大学的影响下，由伊利诺伊大学设计的ILLIAC IV 伊利诺伊州的厄巴纳，为在艾姆斯实验室安装而制造 美国国家航空航天局局长巴罗夫妇 公司。)这些计算机结构中的某些正在申请 医学中的图像处理。例如息肉系统。 由Peter Bartels博士(亚利桑那大学)制造，PHP， 由Perkin-Elmer公司资助并安装在Biomedical 卡内基-梅隆大学共享匹兹堡的图像处理单元 和匹兹堡大学在放射学图像处理方面的研究 和显微图像处理(Kendall Preston-NIH Grant教授 GMS28221)和伦敦大学学院制造的CLIP4 医学图像处理，M.J.B.达夫博士。 通过认识到克隆人在大学之间协调的重要性 在计算结构或图像处理方面的研究，M.J.B.达夫博士 从1979年开始举办一系列讲习班，每年举行一次会议 此后，它们对以下方向产生了重大影响： 这一领域的研究已经取得了进展。其中四个研讨会中有两个是 在英国得到国家科学研究理事会的支持 意大利国家科学与工程委员会和美国。 由美国国家科学基金会。由于在方式上的完全修改 英国科学与工程学院分配科研经费 研究理事会将不再能够支持这些会议。尽管 这一事实是由研讨会组织者决定的(达夫博士， 利维亚尔迪、乌尔和普雷斯顿教授)继续进行 并寻求新的筹资渠道以提供支助。这项提议， 因此，要求资金允许来自美国的七名与会者。

Scientists in the United States, Europe, and Japan are now strongly involved in the design and fabrication of computing structures for image processing. This situation is a significant turn about from that witnessed in the late 1960s and in the 1970s when only industry was involved in such procedures. (The last major research computer to be fabricated directly under university influence was the Illiac IV designed by the University of Illinois at Urbana and fabricated for installation at the Ames Laboratory of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration by the Burroughs Corporation.) Certain of these computer structures are being applied for image processing in the medical sciences. Examples are the POLYP system being fabricated by Dr. Peter Bartels (University of Arizona), the PHP, funded by the Perkin-Elmer Corporation and installed at the Biomedical Image Processing Unit in Pittsburgh shared by Carnegie-Mellon University and University of Pittsburgh for studies in both radiology image processing and image processing of micrographs (Professor Kendall Preston-NIH grant GMS28221), and the CLIP4 built at University College London and used in medical image processing by Dr. M. J. B. Duff. By realizing the importance of clone coordination between universities in research in computing structures or image processing, Dr. M. J. B. Duff initiated a series of workshops, starting in 1979 and meeting annually thereafter, which have had a major impact in the directions in which research in this field has taken. Two of four of these workshops have been supported in Great Britain by the National Science Research Council, in Italy by the National Council on Science and Engineering, and in the U.S. by the National Science Foundation. Due to a total revision in the way Great Britain research funding is distributed, the Science and Engineering Research Council will no longer be able to support these meetings. Despite this fact it has been decided by the workshop organizers (Drs. Duff, Levialdi, and Uhr and Prof. Preston) to proceed with the seventh in the series and to pursue new avenues of funding for support. This proposal, therefore, requests funds to permit seven attendees from the United States.
