Researchers at SUNY (Stony Brook) request an eight processor, shared-           memory system plus cameras, digitizers, and monitors for acquiring and          displaying video images.  This equipment will be used primarily in              experiments to develop working vision systems.                                                                                                                  The main project is developing an automatic system to isolate faces             from digitized visual scenes, to extract their key size- and                    orientation-invariant features, and to recognize them using a database          of known faces.  It emphasizes highly parallel algorithms, using low-           level vision processing operators present in human visual systems.              This work is producing efficient parallel algorithms for symmetry axis          location and other critical vision operations.  One result will be              methods allowing real-time, automatic face recognition and tracking             from video images using small arrays of processors running in parallel.                                                                                         Other projects will use this multiprocessor equipment:                                                                                                          (1) to implement a real-time active-vision robot navigation system              based on a binocular camera system controlled by a highly parallel              algorithm,                                                                                                                                                      (2) to create a family of advanced environments with graphical user             interfaces that support specification and design of concurrent systems,                                                                                         (3) to investigate the design and implementation of parallel algorithms         for computer-aided design (CAD) tools for VLSI circuits and,                                                                                                    (4) to experiment with methods of sharing memory and controlling global         resources in large networks of computers.
