This toolkit is 00044 being developed at USC and Caltech to provide a comprehensive suite of 00045 C++ classes for image processing, biologically-inspired computational 00046 vision, hardware interfacing, and parallel processing on Linux beowulf 00047 clusters. Among the executables included in the distribution are our 00048 bottom-up, saliency-based visual attention model (single-CPU and 00049 beowulf versions), models of contour integration in primary visual 00050 cortex, models of object recognition in inferotemporal cortex, and our 00051 beobots quad-CPU autonomous neuromorphic robot code. Please see the <A 00052 HREF="README">README</A> for installation and compilation 00053 instructions. 00054 00055 The main program to use is called <B>ezvision</B> in the saliency/bin/ 00056 directory. 00057 00058 See the <a href="README">README</a> and \ref programmer-notes 00059 "programmer notes" for detailed information on building and using the 00060 programs in the toolkit. 00061 00062 Here are links to several key classes in the toolkit: 00063 00064 - Image 00065 - ModelComponent 00066 - ModelManager 00067 - ChannelBase 00068 - VisualCortex 00069 - Brain 00070 - InputFrameSeries 00071 - OutputFrameSeries 00072 00073 Other pages of interest: 00074 00075 - \ref modelbuilding "building models using components of this toolkit" 00076 - \ref howto-scripting 00077 00078 To further help you navigate the source tree, see the available <A 00079 HREF="http://ilab.usc.edu/cgi-bin/secure/viewcvs.cgi/trunk/saliency/"> 00080 viewcvs browser</A> (use the same username and password as you used to 00081 access this page) which, despite the "cvs" in its name, browses our 00082 subversion (svn) source code repository. 00083 00084 */
