Image processing applications and their parallel aspects

Image processing activities at KFKI Research Institute for Measurement and Computing Techniques are summarised. First, KFKI´s contribution to the VEGA project is described. Then two HW/SW platforms are mentioned (together with applications in intelligent microscopy, industrial quality control). Finally, the analysis/simulation of promising parallel architectures-to achieve considerable speed-up for image processing primitives-is outlined. This inevitably involves the modification/parallelisation of algorithms to exploit parallel capabilities of the architectures.<>
