Abstract
A method and system for whole picture image processing achieves automatic texture and color analysis in a rapid and economical manner. The method involves the generation of texture parameters as a result of processing image data for a whole picture at a time. The system comprises a plurality of image memories for storing digital image data, and a high speed video processor which obtains whole picture image data and processes same so as to analyze such whole picture image data at high speeds. The system also includes a video crossbar switch, master and slave timing control units, and a transformation unit associated with each image memory.
