Logical Image Processing System
(An advanced image processing software package)
About LIPS
version 3.0
Logical Image Processing System version 3.0 is a collection of a
number of image processing tools developed using Visual C++ and it works
in Windows environment. The algorithms pertaining to most of the routines
in this package have been developed in a novel logico-mathematical
framework called
Cellular Logic Array Processing (CLAP). This
nontraditional paradigm advocates pattern-directed Search And
Replace (SAR) techniques, and so, it guarantees speed and precision.
Hardware required
LIPS version 3.0
will run on any IBM compatible PC which has at least 64 MB RAM and 4 GB
hard disk. A high resolution color monitor is recommended for a good
display. The operating system should be Windows 95 and above or Windows NT
and XP.
Other platforms
LIPS version 4.0 runs on Silicon Graphics workstations
powered by the
operating system IRIX 6.1 and above. LIPS version 5.0 runs on SOLARIS OS
based SUN workstations. LIPS version 5.0 would be ported to SUN SOLARIS environment
under the SUN Partnership program and the version 5.0 would be released
by August 31, 2007.
Potential users
Research laboratories would find this package to be very useful for
field applications. Automated factories, Remote Sensing and GIS
application centers, Vision based guided and autonomous mobile systems and
robots manufacturers, Forest resources evaluation centers, Geological
survey and mapping agencies, Radiologists and medical imaging experts,
Image interpretation intelligence agencies,
Nondestructive testing laboratories, Space surveillance agencies and many
others could
use this package very effectively.
LIPS has been designed by a Professor of
Signal Processing, and developed by experts in the field of Computer
Vision and Pattern Recognition, and so,
academic institutions would
immensely benefit from using this package. A help file is developed
exclusively
for teaching learning process.

Technical details of LIPS
LIPS has three modules: (i) Image Processing, (ii)
Pattern Recognition and Analysis and (iii) Pattern
Generation. A digital image is treated here as a square array
configuration of a cellular automaton and the operation on it as a
cellular automaton parallel updating rule. Most of the algorithms used in
this package have been developed based on this idea only. The term Pattern
Recognition refers here to the detection of local features like straight
lines, curves, break points, angles, textures in an image. The main tool
used in developing the pattern recognition algorithms is
Rajan
Transform which is a fast algorithm similar to Decimation-In-Frequency
FFT algorithm. Pattern generation is carried out using complex
mathematical formulas
