Abstract

Vista is a software environment supporting the modular implementation and execution of computer vision algorithms. Because it is extensible, portable, and freely available, Vista is an appropriate medium for the exchange of standard implementations of algorithms. This paper, an overview of Vista, describes its file format, its data abstraction, its conventions for UNIX filter programs and library routines, and its user interface toolkit. Unlike systems that are designed principally to support image processing, Vista provides for the easy creation and use of arbitrary data types, such as are needed for many areas of computer vision research
