Abstract
A transputer network is used for visual texture analysis. The image is segmented and farmed amongst the transputers of the network. The analysis is based on fractal texture measurements, modified to be suitable for non-fractal visual texture from natural scenes. Gravity feed dynamic load-balancing is used for data distribution, with software written in a modular fashion to facilitate changes in topology. Various array and tree topologies are evaluated and compared. Timing comparison is used to identify and eliminate bottlenecks and 94% efficiency is achieved using an array of 16 slave transputers
