Abstract
In the research area of image and video processing, the Horus library (5) has become a valuable system for software driven rapid proto- typing, and an essential vehicle for knowledge transfer at the level of uni- versities and expertise centers. Due to its strictly sequential implementa- tion, however, Horus can not always satisfy all demands for high perfor- mance. As computational requirements for the processing of large image sets and video streams continue to increase, it is essential to provide a Horus implementation that applies to high performance computers. As researchers in image and video processing can not be expected to also become experts in parallel computing, the Parallel-Horus project aims to shield Horus users from all intrinsic complexities of parallelization. This paper presents an overview of the Parallel-Horus project; it discusses the project's goals, as well as current and future research directions. Also, the efficiency of the current Parallel-Horus implementation is demonstrated by evaluating a strictly sequential state-of-the-art imaging application.
