Server to work with SingleChannelBeo 00050 /*! This class receives images from SingleChannelBeo, process them, 00051 and return the pyramids and submaps back. One server may serve 00052 several SingleChannelBeo clients; messages will be processed 00053 according to the Beowulf node number of the client. The first thing 00054 the client should do is to sent a configuration message, according 00055 to which we will build the channel here. Then, the client may send 00056 input images, which we will process, and we will return the 00057 resulting pyramid and maps. 00058 00059 The system can work in two modes: in full emulation mode, the output 00060 map, channel pyramid, submaps and clip pyramid are all returned by 00061 the processor node. This requires a lot of network bandwidth but 00062 should ensure results that are exactly identical to when using the 00063 normal channels. In quick mode, only the output submap is 00064 returned. This will work with standard processing that only deals 00065 with the output, but things like saving the submaps or biasing the 00066 visual cortex will break; so use the fast mode at your own risk ;-) 00067 Selection of which mode is used is done via opur itsQuickMode 00068 ModelParam. */ 00069 00070 class SingleChannelBeoServer : public ModelComponent 00071 { 00072 public: 00073 //!
