Abstract
A scheme that generates image processing source code for custom applications automatically by using structured image (SI) technology in a way that takes advantage of the unbound and incomplete features of SI. Resulting custom applications developed by this method can be defined and converted to running source code in minutes, or shipped to a co-user of the system in a compact portable form for remote code generation. Nested sub-component references and associated image processing operations necessary to generate an output raster image are obtained from a structured image template. Image processing operations and the order of said operations within an image processing definition are stored within the structured image definition. Unbound structured image references to undefined component objects and incomplete structured image references to image processing operations and parameters not explicitly defined within said structured image are input options. Source code is generated from structured image definition language automatically utilizing a modified structured image render program which analyzes said structured image definition language. The code can be used for further rendering …
