A Programmable Video Image Remapper
Timothy E. Fisher, Richard D. Juday · Proceedings of SPIE, the International Society for Optical Engineering/Proceedings of SPIE · 1988
NASA's Johnson Space Center (JSC) has created the specifications for a new kind of image processing machine, a video-rate coordinate remapper. JSC has contracted with Texas Instruments for its detailed design and construction. Previous image processing machines for machine vision typically have done point operations without changing the geometry of the image. The JSC/TI Programmable Remapper offers complete flexibility in changing the coordinates of an input image at video rates. Presented here are the main capabilities and some of the applications of such a device.
