                         optical programmable image processor for neighborhood operations 
                         is proposed. The spatial polarization encoding and space-variant 
                         techniques are used in the design of an optical system which can 
                         perform multiple-instruction multiple-data processing. The system 
                         is cellular logic image processor with nine local neighbor inputs 
                         and three outputs. In particular, the applications of the optical 
                         scheme in binary image morphological operations and edge detection 
                         are described in detail. Simulation results are also presented.",
