Abstract:

During the period August-November, 1991 we concentrated our efforts in three areas, development of applications, algorithm development and theory. Progress in algorithm development and in seeking commercial partners is encouraging. We are also continuing to evaluate hardware needs. We have selected two specific applications for our compression algorithms. These are distribution of images on CD-ROMS, and inclusion of images of structures in cartographic data bases. The eventual markets include PC-based multimedia, real estate and civil engineering firms. We have prepared a demonstration disk for 386 and 486 machines and SUN workstations, and are currently soliciting evaluations. We have began to work with a CD-ROM distributor to adapt our software to his needs.
