Image Generation and Image Analysis on Transputers
conference paper
The TNO Physics and Electronics Laboratory (TNO-FEL) in The Hague is part of the TNO Defence Research (TNO-DO) of the Netherlands Organisation for Applied Scientific Research. The activities of TNO-FEL focus primerily on operational research, information processing, communication and sensor systems. To support the fast data-processing often required in sensor system applications, research was started on parallel processing. The two main areas of interest are transputers [1] and neural network technology [2]. This research has now resulted in two major application areas : real-time computer generated imagery for simulators and 3D image analysis for computer vision systens. This presentation gives an overview of the development and implementation of these systems. The impact of the next Transputer generation of these applications is also discussed.
