Abstract
System and method for automatically generating a graphical program to perform an image processing algorithm. A user may develop an image processing algorithm in an image prototyping environment. The image prototyping environment enables the user to easily apply various image processing functions to an image and immediately see the results, in order to develop the desired algorithm. As the user applies each image processing function to an image, the function may be recorded as a step in a script. Once the user has developed an algorithm, the user may request the image prototyping environment to automatically generate a program implementing the image processing algorithm. In various embodiments, the prototyping environment may be operable to generate different types of programs, including text-based and graphical programs. For example, a text-based program may include function calls corresponding to each step in the script recorded while developing the image processing algorithm, while a graphical program may include nodes corresponding to the steps of the script. The generated program may be operable to display a user interface comprising controls for interactively changing various …
