EIKONES-an object-oriented language for image processing

This paper presents an object oriented language, called EIKONES, for efficient and flexible image processing. The EIKONES language provides the user flexibility and friendliness for image processing which are not available in other image processing tools. The basic idea behind EIKONES is the consideration of the image processing algorithms as objects and the appropriate development of a formal grammar for its actual implementation. Results are provided by using the EIKONES language.
