Applications of Computational Verbs to Digital Image Processing

The digital image processing technology based oncomputational verb theory is presented. If images are viewedas dynamic processes along spatial coordinates then the changesof patterns of gray values can be represented as spatial verbs.The basic principles of verb image processing is to find therelation between an image and a template spatial verb. In order toreduce the calculating burdens for real-time applications, a two dimensionalspatial verbs can be represented by a compositionof a brightness profile function and a shape outline function.A fast way of calculating verb similarities between an imageand a template verb is constructed based on either row-wiseor column-wise verb compositions. Two applications of verbimage processing and one existing commercial product using verbimage processing are introduced.
