A picture processing system is constructed, which gets binary picture data from CCD camera, and finds contour lines to distinguish objects from holes, and draws them in Printronix.
The system is constructed using microcomputer system, which apparently has some disadvantages, in that its architecture such as the narrow data bus limits its speed and memory space, and software tools are poor. But the CDOS (Cromemco Disk Operating System), which is installed and running in PROJECT MICRO LAB, has abundant software tools, and useful peripheral devices such as CCD camera, TV dazzler, and Printronix etc., so that the picture processing system could be constructed with CDOS.
The curvaturepoint linkage algorithm is derived formally, and the procedure is described in some detail, with the intention to contribute to "program correctness proof"
