Abstract :
The paper presents a software package BlueVision for parallel processing of multispectral data from remote sensing of the Earth. The purpose is to provide a software framework for high-performance analysis aimed at detection and monitoring of different natural hazards. The package consists of five modules that implement parallel computational modules for fire detection, deforestation, soil salinity, water pollution, flooding. Additional module visualizes the detected areas on a geographic map. Performance analysis are based on the experimental results on a heterogeneous multicomputer cluster and the Bulgarian supercomputer BlueGene/P.
