The following are instructions on how to run the applets which are part of the HIPR package. These applets are designed to allow the user to try out the operators which are outlined in the worksheets.
You may want to review the general instructions first, which gives a demonstration overview, JAVA details, browser details, known bugs, etc.
The first input on the interface is a textfield into which the number of different classes there are going to be is entered. This is an integer between 1 and 16. Below this is a table which defines the constraints on a pixel belonging to a certain classification. The color of the class name defines the color that the pixels of that class will be when they are displayed in the output. Next to the labels are two boxes specifying what the upper and lower pixel intensity limits are for a pixel to belong to that class. These are integer values between 0 and 255. If two classes have overlapping boundaries and a pixel lies in that overlap then it is classified as belonging to the first class whose intensity constraints it passes.
The output is displayed to the right of the input image.
Pressing the green start button causes the operator to run. Pressing the Stop button causes the operator to stop running. This is useful if the system being run on is very slow and the operator is taking a long time to complete.
The time box shows the amount of time which the operator took to complete the process on the input image.
You can inspect the input and result image pixel values by depressing the left mouse button and moving the cursor over the desired pixel. The pixel coordinates and gray-level value are displayed underneath the image. Note that some images are larger than the displayed 256x256 display window. Larger images are subsampled in an appropriate manner.
