Laboratory for Imaging Algorithms and Systems Center for Imaging Science Rochester Institute of Technology Development ADP is a platform for integrating algorithms, data acquisition, processing, simulation, and playback In order for RIT to do the best job at system integration, we build infrastructure and tools New GUI layout language Distributed toolkit (monitors, file recorders) Encapsulation and templating common programming tasks; lets developers focus on algorithms and not spend time dealing with architecture, networking, etc. ADP is a platform for integrating algorithms, data acquisition, processing, simulation, and playback In order for RIT to do the best job at system integration, we build infrastructure and tools New GUI layout language Distributed toolkit (monitors, file recorders) Encapsulation and templating common programming tasks; lets developers focus on algorithms and not spend time dealing with architecture, networking, etc.
