Research is conducted on novel digital image processing systems                 incorporating crossbar processing architectures and optical                     interconnection techniques to implement the crossbar and other busing           schemes.  The research addresses the problems of speed and throughput           limitations of current digital image processing and vision systems              which arise due to contention on the high speed system data buses.  A           new parallel digital image processing system incorporating a                    generalized crossbar switch as a parallel interconnection unit will be          examined.  The feasibility of implementing the crossbar switch and              internal interconnection bus optically using very high speed fiber              optic data lines will be explored.  Such a switch would supply                  contention-free communications at very high speed and potentially low           cost among various component parts of the system.  This novel image             processing system will be useful in real time, online, and high                 throughput applications of image processing, e.g., in industrial                automation using vision systems, real-time processing of medical                images, remote sensing, and office automation.  The optical crossbar            interconnection system has additional applications in local area                networks.
