Proposals for the HAL program were requested
under Air Force Broad-Agency Announcement BAA MNK 94-0002.
The University of Florida and the Martin Marietta Corporation proposed
to develop a system to satisfy the HAL program guidelines by combining
the Martin Marietta GAPP (Geometric Array Parallel Processor) and
University of Florida image algebra technologies to provide a massively
parallel computer that can be programmed for computer vision and image
processing applications with the Image Algebra C++ (iac++
)
object library.
