The Computing Center of the State University of New York at Albany is engaged in providing an innovative service to the research community of our region. During the past few years many pages of literature have been written about image processing (Rosenfeld, 1971). In this literature are presented many application areas that have been investigated to develop algorithms for data analysis. It is our impression that much of this previous work can be brought out of the research phase and into the development phase. We, as computer service specialists, recognize the need to provide card readers and tape drives for our users with data in 'machine readable form' We further recognize that maintenance of a library of statistical and mathematical tools is our obligation to the user/research environment. Image processing has made great strides in establishing itself as a viable research tool. We believe that it is not premature to extend our definition of machine readable objects to include pictures(or what ever a TV camera can see).Further we are extending our program library to include tools tailored to the data structure inherent in images(two dimensional matricies where row and column have positional meanings).
