Parallel image processing using algorithmic skeletons

Abstract: In the last few decades, image processing has achieved significant theoretical and practical progress. It has been so fast that image processing can be easily traced in several disciplines and industries. At present, various methods have been proposed to implement image processing. The present paper aims to present a technique for image processing which utilizes design and analysis of parallel algorithms. It employs a new approach called “algorithmic skeletons ” which is composed of a set of programming templates; hence facilitating the programmers ’ work
