Image Access Protocol for Image Processing Software
Robert M. Haralick · IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering · 1977
During the past decade a number of multiimage picture processing software packages have been put together. However, only a few of the references to picture processing systems discuss image data structure or input/output routines. This correspondence is a first step in a direction toward getting a communication process started by suggesting some specifications for a multiimage data format and standard input/output interface routines to access the image data.
