โœฆ Synopsis

In the paper we present an algorithm for creating region-adjacency-graph (RAG) pyramids on TurboNet, an experimental parallel computer system. Each level of these hierarchies of irregular tessellations is generated by independent stochastic processes that adapt the structure of the pyramid to the content of the image. RAGs can be used in multiresolution image analysis to extract connected components from labeled images. The implementation of the algorithm is discussed and performance results are presented for three different communication techniques which are supported by the TurboNet's hybrid architecture. The results indicate that efficient communications are vital to good performance of the algorithm.

This paper presents a solution to the problem of creating region adjacency graph (RAG) pyramids on parallel computers comprising the hypercube topology. RAG pyramids represent hierarchies of irregular tesselations, with each tesselation generated in parallel by independent stochastic processes, and

We propose a new method of detecting image orientations by using mathematical morphology, a type of nonlinear processing. In the new method, an opening filter with a one-dimensional structure along each orientation axis detects image orientations after detection of oriented edges in the images. Area

This paper describes a domain specific programming model for execution on parallel and distributed architectures. The model has initially been targeted at the application area of image processing, though the techniques developed may be more generally applicable to other domains where an algebraic or

Networks of workstations (NOWs) can be used for parallel processing by using public domain software like PVM. However, NOW-based parallel processing suffers from node heterogeneity, background load variations, and high-latency, low-bandwidth communication network. Previous studies on load sharing in
