Interactive processor for real time images - uses digitised image signal input to multiprocessor system

摘要

In a number of activities such as quality control of metals and analysis of radiological images a TV camera obtains a moving image which is processed by computer. The spaced and image quality is increased by a multiprocessor system. The output from a TV camera (1) is applied to a monitor (3) and tape recorder (4) and also to an A/D converter (2). The digitised signal is routed via a megabus (18) to a D/A converter(s) for application to a screen (6) for inspection. The digital signal is also applied to microprocessor units (7-14) controlled by a microprocessor control unit (15) with a mass memory system (16). This ensures control and processing taks are performed and also allows interactive operation via a teletype writer (17).
