IMAGE PROCESSING
It was my job to investigate new ways of
removing the jagged edges from the satellite
images. I started with old Fortran code, but I
then used Mathematica to rewrite that code
in 20 : 1 fewer lines of code. That kind of
rapid prototyping was a valuable time-saver.

Mathematica allows easy integration
and evaluation of different kinds of
imaging algorithms.
The success of our 3D-display technology
was due to using Mathematica from the
beginning. The combination of symbolic
and numeric evaluations with the ability
to produce image processing has allowed
us to obtain fast, high-quality results and
correctly inform the direction of
subsequent development.

Mathematica makes it possible, for the frst
time, to implement a complex mathematical
procedure described in the literature on the
same day. The interactive possibilities make
understanding intuitive and easy.
