<title>Reusable Computer Vision Systems</title>

Abstract

One of the primary motivations for developing computer vision is to provide a practical, application oriented tool vital in the solution of a wide range of important contemporary problems. Although system performance has steadily improved, most of the current systems have a limited range of operating characteristics and cannot be reused for other applications because of their ad hoc organization. This presentation will describe early results on the development of a methodology for constructing vision systems that do not suffer from these problems.
