Star-P Gains Ultra-Fast Imaging Capabilities

By DE Editors

Interactive SupercomputingInc. (ISC; Waltham, MA) added imaging capabilities to its Star-P technicalcomputing software. The new version features a built-in image processingfunction library that boosts users’ productivity by executing functions up to 30times faster than competitive tools.

The Star-Pimaging function library, which is available immediately as part of Star-Pversion 2.7, is suited for use in life sciences, defense, and any otherapplication involving complex imaging problems with high computationalrequirements or with extremely large data sources, such as medical imaging,microscopy, surveillance, and biometrics.

With thisnew built-in library, scientists, engineers, and analysts can process extremelylarge image data sets and perform complicated imaging analysis on highperformance computers (HPCs) with speed and ease. Star-P enables users to createapplications on their desktops using familiar mathematical tools, such as MATLABand Python, and then run them instantly and interactively on parallel HPCs.

Star-P’snew image-processing function library has a full set of functions for imagemanipulation, analysis, digital imaging, computer vision, and digital imageprocessing. Its built-in capabilities include image file I/O, color spacetransformations, linear filtering, mathematical morphology, texture analysis,pattern recognition, image statistics, and others. All functions interoperateseamlessly with Star-P math functions including data-parallel FFT and otherfunctions important for large scale parallel image processing.

Key imageprocessing functions include color transformation, geometric transformation,linear filters and image transforms, mathematical morphology, image enhancement,and image analysis.
