Compact parallel real-time programmable optical morphological image processor
Yao Li, Andrew A. Kostrzewski, Dai Hyun Kim, George Eichmann · Optics Letters · 1989
Based on the parallel-processing and interconnection capabilities of optics, a novel, compact, real-time programmable parallel optical morphological filter is proposed and demonstrated. Using a real-time polarization-encoded image-casting scheme, some proof-of-principle experimental results are presented.
