Abstract: A new revolutionary approach to image processing is disclosed. The current limitations of video technology in video image analysis and processing are eliminated. A new "large format" data acquisition system is described which permits a user of the system to process analog data with any required degree of resolution. The degree of resolution obtainable is limited only by the application and source data in connection with which the system is being utilized. The preferred embodiment of the invention permits the analog data source, a map, a photograph, an x-ray, or any other two or three dimensional object or data that can be imaged on a video system, to be segmented into a series of video images which, when sequentially processed, produce an accurate mosaic of the original image. In this manner the size, the shape or image of a rock, a tree or a pond in a photograph of a one acre field can be precisely viewed, measured or outlined for whatever purpose the user of the system desires. The basic components of the system are an X-Y positioning table, a microcomputer, a video camera for acquiring the segmented images, and an ordinary TV set for use in display and analysis of the segmented images that make up the entire analog record of the original image. The possible applications of the system are virtually unlimited in the fields of agriculture, agronomy, animal husbandry, manufacturing, quality control, weather, medicine, and the like, and the possible forms of analysis are similarly unlimited in that the system can be used for analysis of area, distance measurements, density, heat characteristics or any other subject which can be electromagnetically imaged.

Abstract: WRITE AND EDIT CIRCUITRY FOR ELECTRONIC MARKING OF DISPLAYED TV SIGNAL IMAGES A new, revolutionary approach to image processing is disclosed. Using simple logic circuit elements a real time same scan video marking circuit is disclosed which is adaptable to a variety of purposes. The invention can be advantageously used as part of an integrated photogrammetric video measurement system. Using such a system, areas or distances or other graphically detectable characteristics can be displayed on a color television set for purposes of analysis and measurement. Moving pictures, made at ground locations or from an aircraft and collected in television form on a video cassette recorder, can be displayed on the television monitor and measurements of area or of distance made electronically. For the study and analysis of hard copy images, i.e. still photographs, aerial maps, x-rays and the like, an auxiliary system camera can be used which projects the picture onto the television monitor. Gray levels of the display can be detected and electronically marked for such purposes as crop measurement, infestation, weather damage, saline seep studies and the like, or, using other features of the invention, which includes a digital bit plane overlay, specific areas of the analog video display can be electronically marked on the monitor with a light pen, light pencil or cursor controls and, after visual analysis, electronically entered into calculating electronics for puroses of electronic analysis of area or distance measurements, density, heat characteristics, and the like.
