Abstract :
The author summarizes the design of the second generation of the image understanding architecture (IUA), a heterogeneous, multilevel parallel processor being built by the University of Massachusetts and Hugh Research Laboratories to support real-time, knowledge-based machine vision. He also provides an overview of the software environment for the machine, which is being developed by Amerinex Artificial Intelligence Inc., Finally, some speculation on future directions for the long-term development of parallel heterogeneous vision architectures and their software support environments is presented
