This paper describes VIPER, the video image-processing system Erlangen. It consists of a general purpose microcomputer, commercially available image-processing hardware modules connected directly to the computer, video input/output-modules such as a TV camera, video recorders and monitors, and a software package. The modular structure and the capabilities of this system are explained. The software is user-friendly, menu-driven and performs image acquisition, transfers, greyscale processing, arithmetics, logical operations, filtering display, colour assignment, graphics, and a couple of management functions. More than 100 image-processing functions are implemented. They are available either by typing a key or by a simple call to the function-subroutine library in application programs. Examples are supplied in the area of biomedical research, e.g. in in-vivo microscopy.
本文介绍了埃尔朗根视频图像处理系统VIPER。它由一台通用微型计算机、直接连接到计算机的商用图像处理硬件模块、诸如电视摄像机、录像机和监视器等视频输入/输出模块以及一个软件包组成。文中解释了该系统的模块化结构和功能。该软件用户友好，由菜单驱动，可进行图像采集、传输、灰度处理、算术运算、逻辑运算、滤波显示、颜色赋值、图形处理以及一些管理功能。实现了100多种图像处理功能。这些功能既可以通过按键输入，也可以在应用程序中简单调用函数子程序库来实现。文中还提供了生物医学研究领域的示例，如体内显微镜检查。
