Abstract

This paper concerns 1) recent extensions of computer capabilities that relate to processing two-dimensional data, and 2) concepts of how computer technology will be applied in the future to images. The first section describes the nature of image data and the main approaches that have been taken to handle it. Image processing, computer graphics, and pattern recognition methodologies all contribute substantially to the body of techniques available today. We discuss engineering approaches used now and the potential directions for extending these approaches to take advantage of new technologies and to meet real-world needs. The newer systems discussed include 1) cellular processors, 2) conventional computers as “host” with a peripheral array processor, and 3) “supercomputers” (fast, large machines which employ pipelining and parallelism).
