Abstract

TABS is a software framework designed to support research, development and evaluation of components and systems in image processing, computer vision and pattern recognition. It utilises a novel integration of the well-known Tcl/tk scripting language with a further software package ET to provide a software environment where systems can be developed in a seamless mixture of C/C++ and Tcl. In addition it integrates a user interface prototyping capability and a novel database abstraction, which enables systems to gain efficient access to any data generated during application execution. TABS runs under Unix/X-Windows, and Windows 95/NT, and is available in the public domain via the Internet
