History of Science and Engineering Annotation << Back DIGITAL PROCESSING OF IMAGES AT THE INSTITUTE OF AUTOMATION AND ELECTROMETRY OF THE SIBERIAN BRANCH OF RAS. THE PAST, THE PRESENT, AND THE PROSPECTS S.M. Borzov, V.P. Kosykh, O.I. Potaturkin, A.L. Reznik The article is devoted to the history of development of digital processing of images at the Institute of Automation and Electrometry of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The period from emergence of the first scanning automatic machines for measurement of coordinates of tracks of elementary particles on black-and-white films to creation of modern methods of resolving complex thematic challenges (such as estimation of three-dimensional fields of instantaneous velocities on video sequences, classifi cation of poorly distinguishable types of vegetation by hyperspectral data, and program and analytical analysis of random discrete structures) is covered. Keywords: digital image processing; object detection; 3D-reconstruction; random image; software development. Contacts: Е-mail: reznik@iae.nsk.su Pp. 102-110.
