Abstract
Several reasons have led to the structuring of image processing and the formulation of this structuring by programming languages. The most important of these reasons is the need for providing clearer specification, and better control of associated image data structures, and for greater clarity in program structures, in order to increase the readability and make debugging easier. Another important reason is the desire to exploit new possibilities offered by recent advances in hardware technology. Many dedicated processors can now cooperate in parallel execution to provide efficient parallel implementation for some of the most commonly used image processing algorithms, and this for a manageable level of investment.
