Low Cost Parallel Processing System for Image Processing Applications

AbstractThe rapid grows in the image processing systems complexity, and the complicated nature of its new technologies system design, had created the need for a high speed embedded processing units at low costs. This paper proposes a new implementation method of low cost parallel processing system for image processing applications. The proposed method is implied two stages. The first stage focused in the implementation of the hardware of parallel processors, where two ARM technology processors are used for its considerably low cost, and as standard technology for processors. This stage also concerned about the overall system firmware requirements and system integrations. The second part of the work is to design the tasks parallelism between processors, and the overall system display. The complete system is tested for a real image processing data, and compared with a single processor system. The obtained results show that, the new system is significantly improved the processing in term of speed
