To respond actively to a dynamic environment, a vision system must process perceptual data in real time, and in multiple modalities. The structure of the computational load varies across the levels of vision, requiring multiple architectures. We describe the Vision Engine, a system with a pipelined early vision architecture, Datacube image processors, connected to a MIMD intermediate vision sys...

Oblique airborne photogrammetry is rapidly maturing and entering the workflow of service providers which are tryiong to complement (or replace) the more traditional pipeline based only on vertical images. Many applications embrace the advantages of airborne slanted viewing geometry which comes close to human perception of scenes while standing on the ground. The paper gives an overview on the p...

Watermarks are the most important tool for dating old, not explicitly dated paper documents. Hence, catalogues and databases of watermarks play an eminent role for the work of medievalist and paper historians. This article presents an integrated software system developed for storage, retrieval, manipulation, digital processing, and identification of watermarks in old manuscripts. The whole proc...
