What is Image-Calc anyway?   I've seen  some other  references and am
wondering what it is and does and how we might get it.  

We are manufacturing a line of high-powered low-cost image processing
boards  for  the  VME bus.   (Things  like real  time 3x3 convolution
boards, 3x3 systolic neighborhood area processors that are cascadable
for  larger  neighborhoods,  real-time  histogram  and  feature  list
extraction,  etc).   The  architecture allows  the user  to trade off
boards for speed / performance.  It is  also an  open architecture so
designers  can  easily add  their own  custom hardware  and not worry
about  digitizers,  frame  stores,  basic signal  processing (we even
offer a prototype board with all the hooks for VME and  our own digital
video interconnect.  

We need a way to separate the algorithms from the  hardware.  Looking
for image processing standards / languages.  

Might Image-Calc be a possiblity?  What other image processing
"languages" are out there?
