Technical Meeting
Digital Image Processing Software Systems
July 17-18, 1973
University of Southern California
The University of Southern California Image Processing Institute in
conjunction with the Advanced Research Projects Agency, Information
Processing Techniques Office is sponsoring a technical meeting on
digital image processing software systems. The meeting will be held at
USC on July 17-18, 1973. The purpose of the meeting is to consider the
existing hardware facilities and software systems suitable for large
scale image processing operations over the ARPANET. Additionally,
preliminary consideration will be given to the potential development of
universal image processing software that will be of utility to the
entire image processing R & D community.
Representatives of interested organizations are invited to attend the
technical meeting. Attendees should contact:

§1A Meeting on Image Processing
The University of Southern California Image Processing Institute, with ARPA's Information Processing Techniques Office, announced a technical meeting on digital image processing software systems. It was scheduled for July 17 and 18, 1973, at USC.
The purpose was to consider existing hardware and software suitable for large-scale image processing over the ARPANET and to begin considering universal image processing software.
The meeting was planned to review image-processing computers and software. It would also consider whether general-purpose software could help the research community.
§2Presentations and Discussion
The agenda includes presentations on ARPA image processing programs, computing facilities at UCLA and Lawrence Berkeley Laboratories, ILLIAC IV, and existing software systems such as VICAR, LARSYS, and PAZ II.
The second day's group discussions were to cover user requirements, the benefits and drawbacks of existing systems, desired properties of a software system, and proposals for universal software.
Participants were scheduled to hear about facilities and software already in use. Group discussions would consider user needs and possible shared software.
§3Attendance and Scope
Representatives of interested organizations were invited to attend and contact Professor William K. Pratt at USC. The RFC provides a two-day agenda and does not give findings or decisions from the meeting.
The RFC invites interested organizations to attend and gives a contact. It is a meeting announcement, not a report of results.
