SEAC and the Start of Image Processing at the National Bureau of Standards
نویسنده
چکیده
completed in 1950, was the first electronic computer with an internally stored program in the U.S. government. This paper describes how scanning and computer processing of images began at the National Bureau of Standards in 1956 and how the use of SEAC made possible experiments that led to the widespread use of image processing and many other computer innovations.

Computer Development at the National Bureau of Standards
The first fully operational stored-program electronic computer in the United States was built at the National Bureau of Standards. The Standards Electronic Automatic Computer (SEAC) [1] (Fig. 1.) began useful computation in May 1950. The stored program was held in the machine’s internal memory where the machine itself could modify it for successive stages of a computation. This made a dramatic ...
متن کاملProcessing Digital Image for Measurement of Crack Dimensions in Concrete
The elements of the concrete structure are most frequently affected by cracking. Crack detection is essential to ensure safety and performance during its service life. Cracks do not have a regular shape, in order to achieve the exact dimensions of the crack; the general mathematical formulae are by no means applicable. The authors have proposed a new method which aims to measure the crack dimen...
متن کاملThe Hungarian Method for the Assignment Problem
This paper has always been one of my favorite “children,” combining as it does elements of the duality of linear programming and combinatorial tools from graph theory. It may be of some interest to tell the story of its origin. I spent the summer of 1953 at the Institute for Numerical Analysis which was housed on the U.C.L.A. campus. I was supported by the National Bureau of Standards and share...
متن کاملOther Aids to Computation
National Bureau of Standards.—In June 1950, the NBS Eastern Automatic Computer, called SEAC, was formally dedicated as an operating computer. (See MTAC, v. 4, p. 164-168.) Prior to its dedication, SEAC had solved: (1) miscellaneous mathematical exercises such as determination of prime numbers, computation of sine-cosine tables, solution of diophantine equations; (2) a skew-ray problem for the N...
متن کاملAnalysis of Genetic Diversity in Berari Goat Population of Maharashtra State
Berari goats are medium sized animals reared mainly for meat purpose. They are predominantly brown and blackish brown in colour with glossy hair and found in Vidarbha region of Maharashtra state. Berari is not a recognized breed but a well established local population of goat which is yet to be fully explored for its phenotypic and genetic aspects. Within population genetic variation was examin...
