Item EUROGRAPHICS 86 TUTORIALS: August 25-26 1986(Blackwell Publishing Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1985) Hopgood, BobItem EUROGRAPHICS Application Form for Institutional Membership(Blackwell Publishing Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1985)Item A General-Purpose Multi-Microprocessor Raster Graphics Display System with Anti-Aliasing(Blackwell Publishing Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1985) Piller, ErnstThe raster graphics display system described represents a general purpose mini-computer, specially for CAD applications. The system is based on a hierarchical asynchronous multiple microprocessor system. In practice this mini-computer is extendable up to 15-20 workstations. On the workstations, different graphical and non-graphical devices can be connected. The most interesting workstation is a raster graphics display device which was developed specially for the computer system described. This raster graphics display device contains a processor for the application program, two dedicated processors and two separate identical frame buffers, each of them containing one whole set of image data. Applying algorithms for anti-aliasing, virtual pixel dislocation (intensity dislocation) and multi-pixel-overlappings with hidden line (surface) elimination the image readability and quality can be increased considerably. In particular the paper deals with an anti-aliasing algorithm with a real-time hardware realization.Item Calendar of Events(Blackwell Publishing Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1985)Item Micro-based CAD: A Production Tool for Manufacturing Engineering(Blackwell Publishing Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1985) Goldman, Gary S.Item A Survey of Electronics R and D in the USA(Blackwell Publishing Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1985) Prince, M.D.Item Eurographics Uk Chapter 4th UK Conference(Blackwell Publishing Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1985) Kilgour, AlistairItem EUROGRAPHICS-85 Best Paper Award(Blackwell Publishing Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1985) Vandoni, C EItem Proposed Revisions to the EUROGRAPHICS UK Chapter Constitution(Blackwell Publishing Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1985)Item Implementations using GKS Pascal Binding Appeal for Information(Blackwell Publishing Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1985) Sparks, Madeleine; Gallop, JulianItem User Interaction with an Environment for Image Processing and Graphics(Blackwell Publishing Ltd and the Eurographics Association, 1985) Westrup, T D; Kegel, W.; Gras, J.The Space Telescope Faint Object Camera is one of the most exciting projects in astronomical history, and will expand the volume of the observable universe by a factor of almost one thousand. In order to process the images from this instrument a FOC Image Processing System (FIPS) has been developed at the European Space Technology Centre (ESTEC) in Holland.Amongst other features, such as means to input, display, store, retrieve and output image and graphics data, FIPS places much emphasis on the user interface. The FIPS Command Language (FCL) is based on algorithmic languages such as PASCAL, C, ALGOL, etc, rather than conventional Job Control Languages, and thus includes control statements, compound statements, functions and procedures, assignment statements, etc. These allow the user to define complex functions out of the basic commands and to process for example, sets of images and graphics files without intervention.In addition, FCL allows command parameters to be specified either by default, canonically, by means of keywords, or via prompts to take account of the experience of the user. HELP information can be invoked both at the command and parameter levels, to assist the inexperienced user. As image processing can be time consuming, certain operations (e.g. rotate an image) can be performed asynchronously to avoid delaying interactive user input.Some examples of the practical usage of FIPS are also given, and the paper concludes with an assessment of how well FIPS has met its objectives and what improvements would be beneficial.FIPS is available on a commercial basis from Dynaflow Software Systems.
