This book introduces the area of image processing and data-parallel processing. It covers a number of standard algorithms in image processing and describes their parallel implementation. The programming language chosen for all examples is a structured parallel programming language which is ideal for educational purposes. It has a number of advantages over C, and since all image processing tasks are inherently parallel, using a parallel language for presentation actually simplifies the subject matter. This results in shorter source codes and a better understanding. Sample programs and a free compiler are available on an accompanying Web site.1 Introduction.- 2 Point Operators.- 3 Local Operators.- 4 Edge Detection.- 5 Skeletonizing.- 6 Morphological Operators.- 7 Segmentation.- 8 Corner Detection.- 9 Hough Transform.- 10 Fourier Transform.- 11 Texture Recognition.- 12 Stereo Image Processing.- 13 Analysis of Image Sequences.- A The Parallel Programming Language Parallaxis.- B Parallaxis-III Syntax.- C Programming Tools.- D Vision Library.- E References.
