Digital image processing at Lawrence Livermore Laboratory part I — Diagnostic radiography applications

In recent years there has been an increasing interest in the processing of pictorial images by digital computer. Since the initial success of digital image correction at JPL in support of the space program, considerable effort has been devoted to applying image processing techniques in a wide variety of application areas. This effort has involved the direct spin-off of some basic research results in industrial applications and the utilization of this experience in establishing relevant directions of new image processing research and development.
