There is a need for faster and more efficient production of high quality graphic images. Since the information in graphic images can be coded into data bits, we should be able to adapt the techniques of high speed electronic data processing to graphic image processing. Accordingly, we have constructed an experimental graphic data processor. Its design is based on the same logical design principles as an electronic data processor, but we have modified the system to accommodate the special features needed for processing graphical data. We will describe here our approach to the design, present some details of the system, and show some of the processed images. We will begin with a short discussion of how graphic data is reproduced today, outline some of the advantages of automating the process, and then talk about our own experience.
