A general purpose version of the computer-controlled image scanner OSIRIS
Abstract
The original OSIRIS (Our Second Image Reading Instrument System) machine uses a linear self-scanning diode array for the digitization of images. The present paper describes a general purpose version of OSIRIS. The geometrical resolution is 1024 x 512 pixels and the photometric resolution exceeds 200. Software has been developed for the reading and processing of arbitrarily selected subregions up to 128 x 128 pixels of the original picture. These pictures are displayed on a TV screen for interactive manipulations. One current application of OSIRIS is the analysis of satellite photographs.
