IMAGE INPUT, OUTPUT AND XGP'ing.
After you have an image and its contours; you can save one
or the other or both on disk files; or print one or the other. The
"O" command will output a video image file, in the new hand-eye 200
octal word header format. The "I" will input a video image from such
a hand-eye file; if the file is not 216 by 288, then the center of
the image will be placed coincidant with the center of a 216 by 288
window and the image will be repacked with undefined pixels set to
zero. Both the "I" and the "O" commands will ask for a filename; if
an extension is not explicitly given the default extension "TMP"
will be used. The "αO" command will output the CRE data structure
and the "αI" command will input CRE data structure, naturely the
default extension is "CRE".
The "X" command will output a video image to the XGP. The
"εC" command followed by a list of octal numbers will output the
HSEG and VSEG; raw vector contours, to the XGP. The "P" command
will output the currently displayed III buffer, naturely the
default extension is "III". Finally, the "J" command enhances the
contrast of an image for the sake of its appearance on the XGP.
INTERACTIVE (MANUAL) MULTI IMAGE PROCESSING.
Taking or inputing new television images, and contouring
them using the "C" command or the "Q" command will form a film data
structure. Images can be explicitly compared and linked by typing
"M" match command which links the latest image with the immediately
previous image. The "Z" command will zero the data structure of all
images.
AUTOMATIC MULTI IMAGE PROCESSING.
The "A" command is for automatic turn table perception, CRE
takes 64 pictures from camera #3 while rotating the turn table,
outputs a file and exits (returning control to the 3D geometric
editor). The turn table is manually moved small amounts by the four
possible "Y" commands: "Y", "αY", "βY", and "εY". Numeric absolute
and relative positioning of the turntable is under the "U" command;
the details of which are still being developed.
