Description: With the current proliferation of high speed, parallel image processing computers, designers of image processing systems need to understand the basic algorithms and programming techniques for realizing solutions to problems in image analysis, vision, data compression, and information retrieval. This timely volume covers key parallel architectures and algorithms for processing images, including both the theory of massively parallel mesh-based architectures and the practical programming aspects of these systems. The techniques have applications to computer vision, image compression, image analysis, and information retrieval. The book can be used as a text for electrical engineering and computer science courses at the graduate and advanced undergraduate levels and as a reference for researchers and working professionals.
