Image processing system based on object oriented design
Summary form only given. An innovative image processing system that is based on a conceptual model, i.e. an abstract representation of the application environment that is believed to provide flexibility and modularity in addition to other good properties is proposed. An object-oriented design was used. The objects in the system are instances of classes that capture the abstractions and encapsulate both status and behavior. Status is captured through attribute values, and behavior through procedures. Classes are related to each other through standard abstraction techniques: specialization (class-subclass relation) and aggregation (class-class-component relation). The system works by sending messages (the equivalent of procedure calls) between objects. The object responds to messages by using the required procedure to perform operations. The system is intended to get raw images and sequences of images.<<ETX>>
