   I am looking for information about frame grabbers for a Mac IIx, as well
as image processing software recommendations.   A colleague here 
wants to capture video images of a mechanical part and do some analysis 
of the shape (things like FFT's; I am not an image processing person so I
can't go into detail).  He may end up milling the part on a NC machine.

   He has heard of the following hardware/software combinations:

          Optimage  (image processing software only)
          Data Translation (video i/f board plus software)
	  Rast Ops (video board plus software)

Any comments on these?  Any other ideas for software or hardware for image
processing on a Mac IIx?  All comments are welcome.  

   Please e-mail to me.  I will summarize if people show enough interest.

Thanks,
--
