University of Florida Image Algebra Project

Scope

The University of Florida Image Algebra Project is one of the ongoing research projects of the University of Florida's Center for Computer Vision and Visualization . The Image Algebra Project has as its goal, the development of a concise, coherent algebra which can be employed to solve problems in the image processing and computer vision (IP/CV) domain.

Image algebra development at the University of Florida has led to a number of interesting and significant theoretical advances and to a progression of software tools. Current work includes a C++ class library (iac++) supporting use of image algebra for IP/CV application programming. Work on image algebra began at the University of Florida in 1984. It has been supported by the Air Force (under EGLIN AFATL/DLMI, and currently the Eglin Wright Laboratory Armament Directorate's Munitions Guidance Systems Division EGLIN WL/MNGS) and DARPA. Current sponsorship is under contract F08635-89-C-0134 of the United States Air Force. We hope to be able to continue work on the image algebra under the HAL project.
