Real time low level parallel image processing for active vision systems

This paper presents an overview of low level parallel image processing algorithms and their implementation for active vision systems. Authors have demonstrated novel low level image processing algorithms for point operators, local operators, dithering, smoothing, edge detection, morphological operators, image segmentation and image compression. The algorithms have been prepared & described as pseudo codes. These algorithms have been simulated using Parallel Computing Toolboxtrade (PCT) of MATLAB. The PCT provides parallel constructs in the MATLAB language, such as parallel for loops, distributed arrays and message passing & enables rapid prototyping of parallel code through an interactive parallel MATLAB session
