Summary

Machine vision systems incorporating highly parallel processor architectures are reviewed. A new processor architecture, the image flow computer, is presented in detail. An interactive image processing programming language based on mathematical morphology is then presented. A detailed example of the use of the system for the inspection of a particular industrial part concludes the presentation.
