Abstract
In the paper, a selected group of eleven universal (computer based) image processing systems is surveyed and compared. They constitute a seemingly representative sample of the vast variety of such systems built in the last decade in European countries. The survey covers systems built for research purposes, either in image processing as such or for some other specific problem area, as well as more practically-oriented ones, including a commercially available routine picture analyzer. An overall classification of their general aims as well as basic parameters and features of their hardware structure, software support and application area is given.
