Continuous processing of images through user sketched functional blocks

Abstract

Our aim is to implement an image processing system with previously defined algorithms through the use of functional blocks connected together to form a diagram that we call a schematic. A functional block means the representation of a routine or function by a visual object in our intent. The arc connecting two blocks is the path and direction through which an image is transferred. In the development of the system we relied on the usage of new developments in software providing for the construction of better interfaces. Most important of these are the object oriented style of programming, iconic interfacing, multiple window and multi-tasking operating systems.
