Image Analysis

by Keith Humphrey

This literature review provides an overview of the use of image analysis and how it is used to measure a variety of paper related measures. On-machine vision is discussed, from early analogue photodiode-based systems to modern DSP (1) (Digital Signal Processor) A special-purpose CPU used for digital signal processing applications (see definition #2 below). It provides ultra-fast instruction sequences, such as shift and add, and multiply and add, which are commonly used in math-intensive  based systems. Contents include sections on image analysis workstation, onmachine vision systems, offline applications, online applications, and future trends. It includes a glossary of terms and 67 pages of abstracts. Published by PIRA PIRA Provisional Irish Republican Army
