The proposed work involves:  new optical architectures, allows                  incorporation of new optical devices (bistable arrays, ferroelectric            liquid crystals, etc.) being developed for other applications, and              provides new algorithms and new applications.  It addresses the problem         of the fact that different optical systems architectures are required to        implement different operations.  The proposed work will emphasize iconic        image processing (at the pixel level), feature and symbolic processing          (low level features), processing of object parts (medium level                  features), and information processing of facts (high level data).  This         allows the parallelism, multi-processor and global interconnection              capability of photonics to be used at all levels (pixel, feature, part,         symbolic, and facts) of information/data processing.  Such                      multi-functional flexibility is not commonly found in optical                   processors.
