IS2000 • A image acquisition and processing system used to illustrates the architecture concepts. • Basic functionality of the product is to capture an image using the camera on the probe.
Hardware configuration • Figure 2.1, PAGE 24
System Overview • The source of the image could be from visible light, from another frequency in the electromagnetic spectrum, from heat, or from some other source of radiation. • User may wish to take a single image, a series of images at different time intervals, or to create a motion picture.
System Overview(2) • The user may wish to keep the camera stationary or move it. (Acquisition procedures). The system has a set of built-in acquisition procedures. When a procedure is underway, the user is able to monitor it by viewing the raw data. • Users can perform a number of processing operations to enhance the images. • Users can transfer them to a remote imaging system for remote viewing processing.
Product Features(1) • Provides a range of image acquisition and processing operations on two-dimensional and three-dimensional images, data storage, and network access. • User-friendly operator environment. • Comprehensive catalog of built-in acquisition procedures. • Custom acquisition procedure definition.
Product Features(2) • The throughput of image acquisition is 50 percent higher than for previous products. • Image display can be as fast as the maximum hardware speed. • Runtime trade-off between acquisition speed and image quality.
Product Features(3) • Easy upgrade to new platforms. • Open platform connectivity to on-site or remote workstations. • Connection to peripherals, including printers and digital imagers.
System Interactions • IS2000 interacts with: • Users: User control panel. • The object being probed: probe hardware • network connecting the system to other stations: Network connector.
The future of IS2000 • Design to be extensible, maintainable, and portable. • Flexible enough to accommodate certain expected changes: • Product requirements • Physical characteristics of probe/camera • The way the users use this system. • Image processing method, file formats, standards
Using This system to demonstrate… • In the next five chapters, we present how the design of IS2000’s software architecture meets these challenges. • Some of the design constraints are ones every software designer faces • Some of them are unique to the IS2000 functionality and marketplace.
