Abstract
A simple optical threshold operation is proposed. It is implemented wi th the use of the PROM device, because of the photoconductivity and th e Pockels effect of the BSO crystal. Applications in optical logic and morphology are proposed also, and a simple optical experiment is used for demonstration. It is shown that the simple optical threshold oper ation is useful in the implementation of an all optical morphological image processor. (C) 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
