In recent developments, the ASU HB5 has been modified so that the timing, positioning, and scanning of the finely focused electron probe can be entirely controlled by a host computer. This made the asynchronized handshake possible between the HB5 STEM and the image processing system which consists of host computer (PDP 11/34), DeAnza image processor (IP 5000) which is interfaced with a low-light level TV camera, array processor (AP 400) and various peripheral devices. This greatly facilitates the pattern recognition technique initiated by Monosmith and Cowley. Software called NANHB5 is under development which, instead of employing a set of photo-diodes to detect strong spots on a TV screen, uses various software techniques including on-line fast Fourier transform (FFT) to recognize patterns of greater complexity, taking advantage of the sophistication of our image processing system and the flexibility of computer software.

The paper is intended to provide an overview of advanced robotic technologies within the context of Postal Automation services. The main functional requirements of the application are briefly referred, as well as the state of the art and new emerging solutions. Image Processing and Pattern Recognition have always played a fundamental role in Address Interpretation and Mail sorting and the new challenging objective is now off-line handwritten cursive recognition, in order to be able to handle all kind of addresses in a uniform way. On the other hand, advanced electromechanical and robotic solutions are extremely important to solve the problems of mail storage, transportation and distribution, as well as for material handling and logistics. Finally a short description of new services of Postal Automation is referred, by considering new emerging services of hybrid mail and paper to electronic conversion.

ABSTRACTA TCO/ μc-p-i-n Si:H/AI imager is presented and analyzed. The μc-p-i-n Si:H photodiode acts as a sensing element. Contacts are used as an electrical interface. The image is acquired by a scan-out process. Sampling is performed on a rectangular grid, and the read-out of the photogenerated charges is achieved by measuring simultaneously both transverse photovoltages at the coplanar electrodes. The image representation in gray-tones is obtained by using low level processing algorithms. Basic image processing algorithms are developed for image enhancement and restoration.

Segmentation Methods

Image segmentation is one of the basic problems of image processing, also is the first essential and fundamental issue in the solar image analysis and pattern recognition. This paper summarizes systematically on the image segmentation techniques in the solar image retrieval and the recent applications of image segmentation. Then the merits and demerits of each method are discussed in this paper, in this way we can combine some methods for image segmentation to reach the better effects in astronomy. Finally, according to the characteristics of the solar image itself, the more appropriate image segmentation methods are summed up, and some remarks on the prospects and development of image segmentation are presented.
