An Optical-Digital Image Processing System
Abstract
The combination of optical preprocessing and interactive digital processing furnishes a powerful technique for image analysis and pattern recognition. We describe in this paper several innovative data-reducing operations easily implemented with an optical system. A particular design for an interactive optical-digital computer now being assembled is discussed and several actual examples of optical preprocessing are given.
