Image and Signal Processing LISP Environment (ISLE)
We have developed a multidimensional signal processing software system called the Image and Signal LISP Environment (ISLE). It is a hybrid software system, in that it consists of a LISP interpreter (used as the command processor) combined with FORTRAN, C, or LISP functions (used as the processing and display routines). Learning the syntax for ISLE is relatively simple and has the additional benefit of introducing a subset of commands from the general-purpose programming language, Common LISP. Because Common LISP is a well-documented and complete language, users do not need to depend exclusively on system developers for a description of the features of the command language, nor do the developers need to generate a command parser that exhaustively satisfies all the user requirements. Perhaps the major reason for selecting the LISP environment is that user-written code can be added to the environment through a ''foreign function'' interface without recompiling the entire system. The ability to perform fast prototyping of new algorithms is an important feature of this environment. As currently implemented, ISLE requires a Sun color or monochrome workstation and a license to run Franz Extended Common LISP. 16 refs., 4 figs.
