VIEW is a system for processing arbitrary multidimensional signals. It provides facilities for numerical operations, signal displays, and signal databasing. The main emphasis of the system is the processing of time-sequences and multidimensional images. VIEW`s primary function is to perform signal and image processing operations. It contains a database made up of signals and sequences, a set of commands which act on the signals or sequences in the database, and a user interface that utilizes the database and user-selected commands. An image or signal may be selected from the database or from an external file. A signal is any N-dimensional set of numeric data. The database maintains information such as the data type and organization and some specific information about the data such as the minimum and maximum values. A sequence is an ordered set of signals. These are specific commands which process sequences and techniques in the user interface to apply signal commands to entire sequences. Sequences can be used in such applications as time-series of image frames from a television camera or a series of slices for a 30 tomography.
