Vision systems have been utilized in a variety of applications over the last thirty years. As each application is usually considered to be unique, many organizations have reinvented (or recoded) existing algorithms rather than drawing from outside sources. This paper describes the VEST computer vision system which provides the user with a core of the most widely used computer vision algorithms. Combined with its knowledge base system architecture, VEST allows the user to create an advanced computer vision baseline system to exploit specific application domains.
