Abstract :
This paper provides an overview of a new software framework TABS, which has been designed to support the rapid development of image processing and image analysis systems and components. Compared to other image manipulation software frameworks, TABS has a number of novel features which make it particularly suitable for use in applications where hypotheses rather than single “hard” results are generated by system components, and symbolic data are manipulated
