What is Envision?
Computer vision algorithms are notoriously difficult to implement, read, maintain, adapt, and share. This slows the progress of research in computer vision and discourages other computer scientists from using techniques developed in computer vision. We have developed a solution to this problem, where previous researchers have failed, by combining insights from computer vision and programming language design. Envision improves computer vision programming in two ways. • High-level and low-level vision code can be written in a common language. A compiler is used to translate low-level image handling operations from high-level constructs into efficient C code. • New data structures and operations encapsulate much of the routine, repetitive work which clutters up current algorithms. Existing computer vision systems have two layers: a set of a modules and an interpreted front-end. The modules perform low-level operations, particularly image processing, and are written in C (occasionally C++)
