Abstract
With the increase in complexity of modern software systems, there is a great demand for software engineering techniques. Calculation processes are becoming more and more complex, especially in the field of machine vision and computational intelligence. A suitable object oriented calculation process framework is developed in order to address this problem. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the framework, a simple shape classification system is implemented in C#. A suitable method for representing shapes of images is developed and it is used for classification by a neural network. Sets of real-world images of hands and automobiles are used to test the system. The performance of the object oriented system in C# is compared to a functional paradigm system in Matlab and it is found that object orientation is well suited to the later stages of machine vision while the functional approach is well suited to low level image processing tasks.
