<title>Integrating vision and AI in an image processing workstation</title>

Abstract

The article describes an extension to the Al language Prolog and its implementation on an image processing workstation. The resulting system allows the integration of Al programming, image processing, expert systems and robotic/device control in a user friendly environment. The language itself is capable of driving a range of image processing devices concurrently. The system architecture also permits processing of information from a number of sensing devices, all of which are controlled via Prolog in the host computer.
