A High-Performance Parallel Approach to Image Processing in Distributed Computing

Abstract

Digital image processing is an actual task in the digital communication systems, IP-telephony and video conferencing, in digital television, and video surveillance. Digital processing of large video images takes a lot of time, especially if it happens in a real-time system. And, processing speed plays an important role in recognition of objects in video images received from IP-cameras in real time. This requires the use of modern technologies, and fast algorithms that increase the acceleration of digital image processing. Acceleration problems have not been fully resolved till present. Today's realities are such that the development of accelerated image processing programs requires a good knowledge of parallel and distributed computing. Both of these areas are united by the fact that both parallel and distributed software consists of several processes that together solve one common problem. This article proposes an accelerated method for the tasks of recognizing objects in video images received from IP-cameras using parallel and distributed computing technologies
