Computer architecture for emulating an image input adapter for a correlithm object processing system

A method for emulating an image input adapter for a correlithm object processing system, comprising:

• receiving, by a sensor engine, an image formed by an array of pixels, wherein each pixel in the array has a pixel value;
• determining, by the sensor engine, dimensions for the array of pixels;
• defining, by the sensor engine, a plurality of masks, wherein:
• the size of each mask is less than the dimensions of the array of pixels;
• and
• each mask from the plurality of masks at least partially overlaps with at least one other mask from the plurality of masks;
• overlaying, by the sensor engine, the plurality of masks with the image, wherein overlaying the plurality of masks with the image partitions the image into a plurality of sub-arrays of pixels;
• determining, by the sensor engine, a correlithm object for each pixel in the sub-array of pixels, wherein a correlithm object is a point in a n-dimensional space represented by a binary string;
• serializing, by the sensor engine, the correlithm objects for the sub-array of pixels to form an aggregated correlithm object;
• and
• outputting, by the sensor engine, the aggregated correlithm object.

A system configured to emulate an image input adapter for a correlithm object processing system, comprising:

• a camera configured to output an image formed by an array of pixels, wherein each pixel in the array has a pixel value;
• and
• a device operably coupled to the camera, comprising:
• a memory configured to store a plurality of correlithm objects, wherein a correlithm object is a point in a n-dimensional space represented by a binary string;
• and
• a sensor engine operably coupled to the memory, configured to:
• receive an image from the camera;
• determine dimensions for the array of pixels;
• define a plurality of masks, wherein:
• the size of each mask is less than the dimensions of the array of pixels;
• and
• each mask from the plurality of masks at least partially overlaps with at least one other mask from the plurality of masks;
• overlay the plurality of masks with the image, wherein overlaying the plurality of masks with the image partitions the image into a plurality of sub-arrays of pixels;
• determine a correlithm object for each pixel in the sub-array of pixels;
• serialize the correlithm objects for the sub-array of pixels to form an aggregated correlithm object;
• and
• output the aggregated correlithm object.
