Abstract

This paper highlights some of the hardware and software architectural issues that are pertinent to image processing systems design and operation. Any such system should also be capable of handling graphics operations as well. While no single architecture can perform optimally (in terms of speed, cost, and flexibility) in all situations (applications) it is important to note that paying attention to these issues would minimize costly design changes at a later stage. In light of the above, the paper discusses an imaging system configuration that would also support graphics and text oriented applications, and concludes with a discussion of the services and functions that should be made available on any system to support a wide variety of imaging and graphics applications.
