title: Adaptive methods and system for image processing.
abstract: We present results obtained in the implementation of adaptive methods and a system for image processing. The light-developing nonlinear elements are used in the filtering block of the mirror optical configuration. The processing of gray-scale and of binary images with the help of adaptive optical elements is fulfilled for realization of ground-suppressing, contouring, differentiating, and skeletonizing adaptive filters. A comparison is made between optical and digital methods applied in the pattern processing.
