Abstract :
A real-time image processing system called SIPS (Sight Information Processing System) has been designed and constructed. SIPS realizes a high-speed performance of 2.7 Giga operations/s through parallel and distributed processing of its 82 independently controlled processors. SIPS provides both real-time processing of color video images and a high degree of flexibility. SIPS became operational in 1985 and has been used for research on video image processing such as low-level vision processing and image coding. The architectures and possible applications of SIPS are presented.<>
